Asus2 Fmaj7 G Asus2 A
Asus2
I've often wondered if there's
F G A
Ever been a perfect family
F
I've always longed for undividedness
G A
And sought stability
F
A flower taught me how to pray
F6
But as I grew, that flower changed
Fmaj7
She started flailing in the wind
F6/9
Like golden petals scattering
[CHORUS 1]
F G
And I miss you dandelion
A
And even love you
F G
And I wish there was a way
A
For me to trust you
F G
But it hurts me every time
A
I try to touch you
F G
But I miss you dandelion
A
And even love you
Asus2 F
I gravitated towards a patriarch
G A
So young predictably
A
I was resigned to spend my life
F G A
With a maze of misery
F
A boy and a girl befriended me
F6
We bonded through despondency
Fmaj7
I stayed so long but finally
F6/9
I fled to save my sanity
[CHORUS 2]
F G
And I miss you little sis and
A
Little brother
F G
And I hope you realize
A
L'll always love you
F G
And although you're struggling
A
You will recover
F G
And I miss you little sis and
Asus
Little brother
A5 Am G Fmaj7
Dm Dm/C
So many I considered
Am
Closest to me
Dm
Turned on a dime and sold me
Am Am9
Out dutifully
Dm
Although that knife was chipping
Am
Away at me
Dm
They turned their eyes away and
Em/A A
Went home to sleep ...
[CHORUS 3]
Am/G F G
And I missed a lot of life
A
But l'II recover
F G
Though I know you really like
A
To see me suffer
F G
Still I wish that you and I'd
A
Forgive each other
F G
'Cause I miss you, Valentine
Asus2
And really loved you
F G
I really loved you -
A
I tried so hard
F G
But you drove me away
A
To preserve my sanity -
F G A
And I found the strength to break away
F G
Fly...
[Rainbow Interlude]
A
I know
C#m7
there is a rainbow
D
For me to follow
C/G G7 Am G
To get beyond my sorrow
A C#m7
Thunder precedes the sunlight
F#m D
so I'll be alright
C/G G7 Am G A C#m7
If I can find that rainbow's end
Dmaj7 C/G G7 Am G A
I will be alright if I can find that rainbow's
