    E             A 
The darkness, the coal mines knew it best 
         C#m              A                B 
When the daylight headed west and disappeared 
    E       A 
Progression, on the morning goes 
     C#m               A                  B 
But regardless no one knows the day has cleared 
                 A 
Oh we are blind

A                          B          C#m 
I'll be the flowers of the field that slowly bloom 
A                              B      E 
While you are soundly sleeping on the ground 
A                            B        C#m 
And I'll be your escort in a sad waltz around the room 
A                         B         E 
I'll twirl you all around without a sound

    E             A 
The snowfall, the great lakes know it best 
         C#m             A          B 
When the summers travel west and disappear 
    E             A 
Like dry ice, the snowcaps on the hills 
      C#m              A          B 
Melt like 50 dollar bills of our new year 
              A  
Oh we are cold

I'll be the flowers of the field that slowly bloom 
A                               B     E 
While you are soundly sleeping on the ground 
A                            B       C#m 
And I'll be your escort in a sad waltz around the room 
A                         B        E

A                          B                C#m 
We're trying hard to alleviate this dizzy feeling 
A                               B           E 
We're skipping meals because it feels that bad 
A                          B              C#m 
If we survive we'll stay alive below the ceiling 
A                                B               E 
Of new atmospheres and brighter years that we'll have
