Flowers Where Your Face Should Be

verse 1 D Bright blue hydrangeas G D Lost in the weeds G Bus stops and barbed wire on the way to stare Em At the heart of the earth from the Poas peak G Em Just like the ones that we grew back in Jersey G Hung upside down, drying out for the wedding verse 2 D G There's a man with his head in his hands on the sidewalk D G His wife's there behind him just off of the street D G D She scratches his back as he sobs on the asphalt G And what strikes me most is the symmetry Em How they're framed just like you and me G When the light from the hospital's eastern wing Em G Tangles up in your hair and the sadness it pooled in my heart G Starts emptying slowly [Refrão] D C#m Bm A G Well I saw you last night in my dream D C#m Bm A G D And there were hydrangeas where your face should be verse 3 G D The redwoods feel lonely and lunar and distant G D The sun comes in fragments through breaks in the trees G And I feel further from home than I've ever been G These thin lines of light across space tether you to me Em G They pull in my memories, back to our apartment on 2nd Street Em G Through the South-facing window the light catches lengths of your hair Like a path that you left me [Refrão] D C#m Bm A G Well I saw you last night in my dream D C#m Bm A G But there were azaleas where your face should be Bridge D/F# Em Pieces of us in the morning sun G Sleeping bags under the 101 D/F# Em She takes off his glasses and she falls asleep again G They don't got much but goddamn they got love [Refrão] D C#m Bm A G G Well I saw you last night in my dream D C#m Bm A G I'm gonna marry you underneath driftwood from Crescent City Outro D C#m Bm A G D A Bm A G D C#m Bm A G D A Bm A G (hold)
