Flower In The City chords by The Other Favorites Guitar Chords

[Intro]

A Bm E A

[Verse 1]

A Bm
You are a flower in the city
E A
Growing up between the subway tracks
A Bm
Each day I wish that I could take you with me
E A
And put you in my finest vase of glass

[Chorus]

Dbm Cm Bm
If you stared at me for hours I’d be happy
Dbm Cm Bm
If you blessed my life with sweetness I’d stay sane
Db D
But to pick a flower is to pick its day of dyin’
A
So I won’t play God
E A
And you’ll remain

A Bm E A

[Verse 2]

A Bm
You are the moon above my window
E A
Shining down upon my sleepless face
A Bm
One night I pulled you down and we went walking

E A
Through the empty streets alone in our embrace

[Chorus]

Dbm Cm Bm
I could hold you here forever in this silence
Dbm Cm Bm
Where your light would shine for no one else but me
Db D
But to steal the moon is to doom the world to darkness
A
So I won’t play God;
E A
I will set you free

A Bm E A

[Verse 3]

A Bm
You are a flower in the city
E A
Growing through the concrete by yourself
A Bm
Oh how I wish that I could take you with me
E A
But you can’t grow in a prison on my shelf

[Outro]

E Bm A
No, you can’t grow in a prison on my shelf
