[Eb]

 

[Eb]The year [Bb]I was born

[Ab]The Vietnam [Cm]war came to an [Eb]end

‘Time for [Bb]liberation'

[Ab]That was what [Cm]some thought it [Cm7/Bb]would be

 

[Eb]Don't [Bb]remember how

[Ab]How I [Cm]ended up in this [Eb]town

Still I [Bb]feel the same as [Ab]if

It's the [Cm]first day I [Cm7/Bb]met you

 

[Cm]You watched the train come and [Ab]go

From what's left of old [Gm]town

The [Fm7]flower still [Bb]grows in [Cm]me

 

I [Ab]grew up, a bit [Bb]clued up

Got [Cm]jaded and then [Eb]faded

[Ab]Believing in our happy [Bb]ending

Like a [Cm]sunset off the [Eb]coastline

 

Never [Ab]cheated

We never [Bb]lied, too

We [Cm]hated before they [Eb]hated us

She was [Ab]so strong

And she was [Bb]so sad

I [Cm]guess I was the [Eb]same way

 

[Bb]Just don't close your[Ab] eyes

[Bb]Just don't close your[Ab] eyes

 

[Eb]This could be my direction

[Cm]You tell me you are doing [Gm]fine

We're just [Ab]waiting for the [Bb]answers

[Eb]Wind blowing one direction

[Cm]You tell me you are doing [Gm]fine

We're just [Ab]waiting for the [Bb]answers

 

[Fm7]I'm writing down my [Abmaj7]thoughts

Like chasing down [Ebmaj7]something to hold

[Gm7]Something to lean on

[Fm7]When leaving off the [Abmaj7]sail

You're giving me [Ebmaj7]something to bet on

[Gm7]Something to go [Fm7]on[Ab]　[Bb]

[Eb]

 

[Eb]And after all I have [Ab]survived

Your cheek is what this morn' [Cm]reminds

[Cm]It's darkness you cast away

[Cm]That leaves the seed right where you [Fm7]stand

As you look into my [Abmaj7]sentiment[Bb]

Your flower grows[Eb]
