Verse
Dmaj7
Dead flowers all around me
Bm7
Line the halls
In every room
A7
I used to find them pretty
Gmaj7
Used to love their sweet perfume
A7 Gmaj7
Reminded me of the dandelions cut from my parents yard
A7 Gmaj7
Reminded me times I didn’t need to try so hard
Dmaj7
Dead flowers
A7
Dead flowers
Dmaj7
Dead
[Verse 2]
Dmaj7
Past midnight in a hotel room
Bm7
These late hours that I keep
A7
Used to scream out stories from my bed
Gmaj7
Kept my sister from her sleep
A7 Gmaj7
Reminds me of the times you told me I best settle down
A7 Gmaj7
Reminds me of the names I earned when no one was around
Dmaj7
Past midnight
A7
Darkest moonlight
Dmaj7
Dead
[Bridge]
A7
And anytime I try to be mad
Gmaj7
I seem to empathize
A7
When friends say you’re not right in the head
Gmaj
It don’t stop this crying
Bm
I’m skating on a line
Gmaj7
Trying to be fine
A7
I should be by now
If I just count the years gone by
Dmaj7 Bm7 A7 Gmaj7
A7 Gmaj7
A7 Gmaj7
[Verse 3]
Dmaj7
Dead flowers all around me
Bm7
I don’t keep them just for fun
A7 Gmaj7
They used to be a sign I would hide from everyone
A7 Gmaj7
Reminding me of consolation after words would cut
A7 Gmaj7
Reminding me of all the ways that you kept my mouth shut
A7 Gmaj7
Reminds me of the time you broke down my front door
A7 Gmaj7
Reminding me of how you cannot hurt me anymore
