Flower

    D - E - G - D       D - E - G - D

   D                                 E                G                   D

1.   She dreams of the country, her eyes go far away,

D                           E                       - G                      D

    she wishes for flowers, he says,     "Perhaps in May."

            D                  E                      G                     D

    The city always was gray, the reflections of his eyes,

D                                 E                               G                        D

    and she knows he liked it that way, and that way he shall die, well.

D                           G      - D                                             G

    She's always known,       that there was something more.

D                                             G

    There's this hunger in her belly like an instinct,

         D                              G

     it tells her that there's something more.

A                                   G

    This living shouldn't be called living,

                       D

    'cause it's really only half a life.

                 A                                       G

   She's a flower that grows despite cement holes -  

    - - - - - - - - - - -   D - A - G          A        D     - A - G          

    and she will survive,          she will survive.

   D                                        E              - G               D

2.   She's a rare breed with violet eyes     and leafy limbs,

D                                    E                            G                          D

    in conversations she looks for cracks to dig her roots deep in.

                   D                             E                 G                                  D

    And her ways come up like daisies, she pushes her head to the sun.

D                                 E                                   

    She says "I am content here to grow,

             G                                 D

     despite the steel frost that consumes everyone."

+ CHORUS

   D                                      E               

3.    In the end these steel cages will consume us,

                   G                               D

    and like coffins ignorance will take us in and

D                                 E                          G                     D

    fashion don't mean anything , 'cause fashion cannot be our friends.

D                                 E                             G                         D

    And when all else fades away, and the city falls into its sleep,

D                                              E                                         G

    we'll still have flesh, blood, bones and our soul to deal with,

                           D

    so we should dig our roots deep.

D                   G      - D                                             G

     Always known,       that there was something more.

D                                             G

    There's this hunger in her belly like an instinct,

         D                              G

     it tells her that there's something more.

A                                   G

    This living shouldn't be called living,

                       D

    'cause it's really only half a life.

                 A                                       G

   She's a flower that grows despite cement holes -  

    - - - - - - - - - - -  D - A - G          A        D - A - G          

    and we will survive,           we will survive.

                   A        D - A - G - D                   

  And we will survive,               (capo 4th)    (Jewel)
