The Garden Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[A][Bm][C#dim][Bm][D][A]
[Bm][F#m]
The [D]lights are always on in the street

[Verse 1]
[D]
[A]So I never sleep
My [Bm]dreams have turned to plastic
and they [F#m]rattle in my head
And now there's [D]concrete
in the yard
Where the [A]sunflowers used to be
I [Bm]thought I heard your voice
but it was [G]only the TV

[Verse 2]
[A]I t[G]hink I'll waste a[D]way here
I [G]think I'll waste [D]away
If the [A]world hasn't killed me [Bm]yet,
well, [G]it's just a matter [A]of days
The [G]poison ate our lung[D]s up
[G]And there's not[A] much we can[Bm] do
If I [G]could, I would get on a spaceship and
[D]spend my [A]last days on the moon
[Bm]

[Verse 3]
They say they're [A]building us a [Bm]garden
So when the birds and trees are [A]all gone
We'll live where the sky [G]is golden
Bathe in artificial [F#]oceans
But if they couldn't tap the mar[Bm]row
Every river, every [A]sparrow
Laying dead inside their [G]cages
Without their songs they
have been [F#]wasted
They say someday we'll
find the [Bm]an swer
We'll be climbing up that [A]ladder
While they burn up in the [G]atmosphere
we'll be okay cause
We'll [D]all [Em]live in the [D]garden[C#dim]
[Bm]

[Verse 4]
I want to [A]build a wall [Bm]around you
And say that I'm the one who [A]found you
But despite all of my vir[G]tue[Bm][G]
I know that I'm the one
who [F#]hurts you
Well, don't you know they [Bm]lie, dear?
There is no better place [A]to find here
They packed up their things
and [G]left [Bm]you[G]
And I don't think I can pro[F#]tect you
I think that I [F#m]have found the [Bm]answer
Yeah, I'm climbing up that [A]ladder
And I'm taking my friends [G]with me an
[Bm]d we[G]'ll be okay cause
We'll [D]all [Em]live in the [D]garden
[C#dim]

[Outro 1]
