Tom: Bb
Bb
When the sun comes up
the flowers’ cup is wet
and it will shine upon
F
the drops of dew
that find a place
to hide in frightened paperspace
Eb
they go their own
they find a way
try to connect but with delay
Bb
they disappear
they go away
F
their fear has paid its toll today
[2nd verse]
Bb
Or blood and pain did break my bones
my moans in bed when I’m alone
F
creates a wind that takes my skin
curtains away the world I’m in
Eb
it makes me longue to life again
to peer through holes at life again
Bb
to live a life like others do
F
or lovers that depends on you
[Chorus]
Eb F
Don’t you think it starts with us?
Eb
it doesn’t start with me
Bb F
don’t you think it starts with us?
Eb F
don’t you think it starts with us?
Dm
I just don’t want to be
Cm Bb
bend in words that make me
F
[3rd and 4th verses]
Bb
I think I didn’t understand
thought she just wants it different
F
indifferent to her
to keep it closer to her world
Eb
and not compare her with the girls
who like to be compared with pearls or so
Bb
no she just really likes to know
F
what does my belly rollercoast
Bb
I wrote:
I saw you walking down the road
F
I saw you talking to the snow
I felt a rock that closed my throat
Eb
when frozen eyes hid where you go t’
what did it show me
it told me I could never be
Bb
so close to you
F
so that before you close your door
I can get in your home
[Chorus]
Eb F
Don’t you think it starts with us?
Eb
it doesn’t start with me
Bb F
don’t you think it starts with us?
Eb F
don’t you think it starts with us?
Dm
I just want this to be
Cm Bb
based on you and me
