Flowers In The Water

[Intro] C  Dm

C
Every year you live it

No second thought is given

That this'll be the day that you die someday
        Dm
But it won't be now

'Cause you're still too young
    C
And everyone will tell you

Can't give into the worry

Wrap up in the love that you have
          Dm
'Cause it may not last

Like you remember

C
Don't obsess be an optimist
    Dm                        G   Dm
The glass half-full is bottomless

Am
Flowers in the water
F
Dead before they got there
    C
The writing's on the wall
    G
But you can have it all
  Am
Tomorrow isn't written
      F                             C
It's just subconscious visions of escape
     G
An escape

( C  Dm )

  C
I try to think of things

That used to make me happy

I guess a placeholder in time
         Dm
A frozen image of

My nostalgia

         C
But the poetry of life

Will quickly pass you by

Dreaming of the way that it was
           Dm
You can't relive your past

Like you remember

      C
And I saw the bloom rose-tinted
      Dm
Don't let your dreams be your mistress

Am
Flowers in the water
F
Dead before they got there
 C
Writing's on the wall
    G
But you can have it all
  Am
Tomorrow isn't written
     F
It's just subconscious visions
 C
Wilting in front of us
   G
No thought of ever giving up

( C  Dm )

C
I gave too much thought to perfect
Dm
Too much looking at mirages
C
And I am lucky just to think it
Dm
Catch myself from falling

Am
Flowers in the water
F
  Uh uh uh
C
Flowers in the water
G
  Uh uh uh
Am
Flowers in the water
F
  Uh uh uh
C
Flowers in the water
G
  Uh uh uh

( C  Dm  C )
