G
She doesn't know the man
D
Who tries to push her wheelchair in the sand.
C
She just looks out to sea.
Em
He's talking endlessly.
G
Oh, why won't he shutup?
I take my medicine
D
I crush the paper cup.
C
Oh, maybe he's my son
Em
And he's coming to set me free.
G
She knows that she forgot
That there's a story and she
D
Can't recall the plot.
C
Of course her family fought
Em
Over the furniture.
G
Oh, I don't know why they
D
Have taken all my favorite things away.
C
But one thing left's for sure
Em
I don't know what they were.
Am
They say a stone is a marker
G
And that it has weight.
D
They say it's solid
D 4 C
But it can deteriorate.
G
The air is like a hand
D
Reminding her of all the things she's planned.
C
Like air that thought is gone
Em
Never to come again.
G
We came out to the beach
D
to find the mind I've lost and cannot reach.
C
I used to keep it here.
Em
It was much cleaner then.
Am
They say a rose is a flower
G
And that it is red.
DD 4
It blooms, it grows, it wilts
C
And then it is dead.
(Strum lightly for next two stanzas)
