Petals

	  		
Intro: Asus2 Fmaj7 G Asus2 A 

Asus2        
I've often wondered if there's 
F              G        A 
Ever been a perfect family 
                              F 
I've always longed for undividedness 
         G          A 
And sought stability 

    F 
A flower taught me how to pray 
    F6   
But as I grew, that flower changed 
    Fmaj7 
She started flailing in the wind 
     F6/9 
Like golden petals scattering 

Chorus 1: 
      F             G 
And I miss you dandelion 
         A 
And even love you 
      F                G 
And I wish there was a way 
                A 
For me to trust you 
       F              G 
But it hurts me every time 
         A 
I try to touch you 
      F        G 
But I miss you dandelion 
              A 
And even love you 

Asus2                  F 
I gravitated towards a patriarch 
   G             A 
So young predictably 
A 
I was resigned to spend my life 
F      G            A 
With a maze of misery 

  F  
A boy and a girl befriended me 
   F6       
We bonded through despondency 
  Fmaj7  
I stayed so long but finally 
  F6/9 
I fled to save my sanity 

Chorus 2: 
      F               G 
And I miss you little sis and 
          A 
Little brother 
      F           G 
And I hope you realize 
                A 
L'll always love you 
      F                   G     
And although you're struggling 
           A 
You will recover 
      F               G 
And I miss you little sis and 
          Asus 
Little brother 

A5 Am G Fmaj7 

Dm      Dm/C 
So many I considered 
Am 
Closest to me 
Dm                         
Turned on a dime and sold me 
Am         Am9 
Out dutifully 
Dm 
Although that knife was chipping 
Am 
Away at me 
  Dm 
They turned their eyes away and 
Em/A         A 
Went home to sleep ... 

Chorus 3: 
Am/G  F               G 
And I missed a lot of life 
           A 
But l'II recover 
         F               G 
Though I know you really like 
           A 
To see me suffer 
        F                 G 
Still I wish that you and I'd 
               A 
Forgive each other 
         F              G 
'Cause I miss you, Valentine 
             Asus2 
And really loved you 


I really loved you - 
I tried so hard 
But you drove me away 
To preserve my sanity - 

And I found the strength to break away 
Fly...
