FLOWERS NEVER BEND
Paul Simon
Album : Songbook 1965
VERSE 1
G Bm7
Through the corridors of sleep
C9G
Past the shadows dark and deep
BmC9 G C G
My mind dances and leaps in confusion.
GBm
I dont know what is real,
C9G
I can't touch what I feel
BmC9G
And I hide behind the shield of my illusion.
CHORUS:
DCGEm
So I'll continue to continue to pretend
Am7 Em
My life will never end,
A C
And flowers never bend
Gsus4 G
With the rainfall.
VERSE 2
G Bm7
The mirror on my wall
C9G
Casts an image dark and small
Bm C9 G C G
But Im not sure at all its my reflection.
G Bm7
I am blinded by the light
C9 G
Of God and truth and right
Bm C9G C G
And I wander in the night without direction.
CHORUS
VERSE 3:
G Bm7
Its no matter if youre born
C9G
To play the king or pawn
BmC9G C G
For the line is thinly drawn tween joy and sorrow,
G Bm7
So my fantasy
C9 G
Becomes reality
BmC9G C G
And I must be what I must be and face tomorrow.
CHORUS
