[Verse 1]
C
Blood isn't running isn't
C/E Eb
Pumping in my heart
Db
And now my need
Bbm
For what was something is
G7
Just something in the dark
C
That I can see
C7
Is something frightening
Ab Gsus4
Alive in something kind
Fm
And they were auburn
Cm
And they were hazel
Gsus4
And lovely powder
F
But now they're sable
All because...
[Chorus 1]
Cm F
I keep growing
C B
Dead flowers now
C Fm
And the wind is blowing
Ddim G7
A burning gown
Around me
Cm F
I keep finding
C B
Dead flowers now
C Am
And they're all behind me
Db Ebaug
And falling down
Around me
[Verse 2]
C
The leaves are falling
C/E
And they're calling
Eb
Out my name
Db
And all the birds
Bbm
That were once singing
G7
Are now screaming out in pain
Ab
That I can feel
Fm
The fruit is ripening
Cm G Ab
But it's rotten to the core
Fm
Pale rime enlightening
F G
A skeleton made of ash and hoar
And so...
[Chorus 2]
Cm F
I keep growing
C B
Dead flowers now
C Fm
And they're always blooming
Ddim G7
And turning brown
Around me
Cm F
I keep finding
C B
Dead flowers now
Am F
And there's no way out
Dm G
No beginning
F
And there's no end
G A
They're all just dead again
[Verse 3]
A
Blood isn't running isn't
A/C# C
Pumping in my heart
Bb
And when I sing
Gm
About the flowers I'm just
E7
Screaming in the dark
A
And now I feel
Dm
The wind is blowing
A
And they're growing
Dm
All the time
Ab
And all the leaves
G
Will need to fall
Ddim
Bind all the flowers
Ab
Kill them all
Db
Show me the beauty
G
In the air
Db
Glow ash and embers
C
Everywhere
Ddim
Gasping and reaving
Ab
Breaths of air
Bb G7
And let the beating hearts beware
[Chorus 3]
Cm F
I keep hiding
C B
Dead flowers now
C Fm
But they die in their thousands
Ddim G7
A swirling cloud
Around
Cm F
And this life keeps snowing
C B
Dead flowers now
Ab Fm
And I see no way out
Ddim G
No escape
And thats why
Cm Ab F D
I keep growing dead flowers now
Eb Cm
And now there's no way out
F D
No escape
Eb F G
And now I see them growing on their own!
