Picking Flowers

Boy In Space


Tom: G

G D C

[Verse 1]
       G
Lights out
           D
It's cold outside
            C
You're not here, oh
       G              D
When I think of your face
              C
It's crystal clear, mm-mm-mm-mmm


[Pre-Chorus]
Em             D
And I say I'm fine but I'm
               C
Lying half the time
                         D
And I say I'm cool, but how could I be?
Em              D
And I say I'm over it, not over it at all
C                    D
Stuck in between it all


[Chorus]
                             G
Picking flowers don't really mean much
                                 D
If you're not by my side when I wake up
            C
I leave the TV on
                C
Makes me feel less alone
D                                G
You're asleep but I'm awake at midnight
                                D
Counting sheep until I'm out of my mind
              C
Looking at pictures from
              C
You and your camera phone
 D                 G
Pretending I'm alright


[Verse 2]
G
Thousands
     D                       C         D
Of train tracks but I can't leave no, oh
       G
And I'd swim
          D               C
But the ocean is far too deep
                  C
So you're out of reach


[Pre-Chorus]
Em             D
And I say I'm fine but I'm
             C
Lying half the time
                         D
And I say I'm cool, but how could I be?
Em              D
And I say I'm over it, not over it at all
C                    D
Stuck in between it all


[Chorus]
                             G
Picking flowers don't really mean much
                                 D
If you're not by my side when I wake up
            C
I leave the TV on
                C
Makes me feel less alone
           D                    G
You're asleep but I'm awake at midnight
                                D
Counting sheep until I'm out of my mind
              C
Looking at pictures from
              C
You and your camera phone
 D                 G
Pretending I'm alright


[Outro]
    D
Oh yeah
                    C
Pretending I'll be fine, hey hey
                 G  D
Pretending I'm alright
                    C
But I'm not really right right right?
G         D
Mm-m-m-m-m-m
 C        D
Mm-m-m-m-m-m
