Tom: D |G |D | |D |D |D |D | [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] |G |A |D |D | |G |A | [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
