[Verse 1]
D Em7 Gmaj7
Blank, my paper folded up for flight
D Em7
But gravity just pulled it down
Gmaj7 D
All soiled and worn, a leaf reborn
D
To feed the swarms
[Verse 2]
Em7 Gmaj7 D
And I sold it out, then sank with all the buoyancy of breath
D
As it’s exiting my heavy chest
Em7 Gmaj7
When all is set ablaze
D
Despite the ways you try to change its progress
[Interlude]
|D |D |
[Chorus]
G A D
When chance lit the forest on fire
G A D
And leveled all we’d come to love and admire
G A D
Up through the black floor green stems grew up higher
G A D
And from that day we knew that flowers would bloom
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
D Em7 Gmaj7
Loose the knot and cut us from the cloth
D
These nets that caught our hungry stares
Em7 Gmaj7
And showed us sight so plain
D
As right as rain, the joy and pain of breathing air
[Verse 4]
Em7 Gmaj7 D
So open up your lungs and fill them up
D
The songs I have sung they started there
Em7 Gmaj7 D
And this, our hallowed ground now burning down
D
The fate our hearts were bound to share
[Interlude]
|D |D |
[Chorus]
G A D
When chance lit the forest on fire
G A D
And leveled all we’d come to love and admire
G A D
Up through the black floor green stems grew up higher
G A D
And from that day we knew that flowers would bloom
A G A D
And from that day we knew that flowers would bloom
