C       Em      G     F
Violets in the Garden
C     Em        G         F
Poems written in lavender
C        Em          G         F
I never knew as I already said
             C     Em      G        F
If you’re a demon seeking for Peace     
      C        Em      G       G4
Or an Angel in war and revelry

Em       G   Bm      A
He was like a God’s favorite
Em         G       Bm    A
But never seemed to notice
Em      G      Bm       A
It was never clear to him
       Em      G    Bm    A
Always had to be bittersweet

( F  G )

C          Em        G     F
Clouds are getting electric
     C      Em            G          F
The thunder storm didn’t come from me
C        Em     G          F
Lately I just lay on my bed
          C
My brain racing
              Em    G       F
It feels like I’m skipping stones
C      Em               G  G4
You are too sad to be young

Em       G   Bm      A
He was like a God’s favorite
Em         G       Bm    A
But never seemed to notice
Em      G      Bm       A
It was never clear to him
       Em      G    Bm    A
Always had to be bittersweet

Em             G            Bm       A
Why can’t you see you’re a  god’s favorite
Em          G         Bm                 A
And I can’t help to but to follow you down
Em            G             Bm         A
Your light is broken but is shining anyway
      Em     G          Bm   A
And I can’t (I can’t) look away
Em           G              Bm    A
You’re still (You’re still) my babe
