Verse
Bmaj7
Dead flowers all around me
G#m7
Line the halls
In every room
F#7
I used to find them pretty
Emaj7
Used to love their sweet perfume
F#7 Emaj7
Reminded me of the dandelions cut from my parents yard
F#7 Emaj7
Reminded me times I didn’t need to try so hard
Bmaj7
Dead flowers
F#7
Dead flowers
Bmaj7
Dead
[Verse 2]
Bmaj7
Past midnight in a hotel room
G#m7
These late hours that I keep
F#7
Used to scream out stories from my bed
Emaj7
Kept my sister from her sleep
F#7 Emaj7
Reminds me of the times you told me I best settle down
F#7 Emaj7
Reminds me of the names I earned when no one was around
Bmaj7
Past midnight
F#7
Darkest moonlight
Bmaj7
Dead
[Bridge]
F#7
And anytime I try to be mad
Emaj7
I seem to empathize
F#7
When friends say you’re not right in the head
Emaj
It don’t stop this crying
G#m
I’m skating on a line
Emaj7
Trying to be fine
F#7
I should be by now
If I just count the years gone by
Bmaj7 G#m7 F#7 Emaj7

[Verse 3]
Bmaj7
Dead flowers all around me
G#m7
I don’t keep them just for fun
F#7 Emaj7
They used to be a sign I would hide from everyone
F#7 Emaj7
Reminding me of consolation after words would cut
F#7 Emaj7
Reminding me of all the ways that you kept my mouth shut
F#7 Emaj7
Reminds me of the time you broke down my front door
F#7 Emaj7
Reminding me of how you cannot hurt me anymore
