Asus2
I've often wondered if there's
F G A
Ever been a perfect family
F
I've always longed for undividedness
G A
And sought stability

A flower taught me how to pray
F6
But as I grew, that flower changed

She started flailing in the wind
F6/9
Like golden petals scattering
Chorus 1:
F G
And I miss you dandelion
A
And even love you
F G
And I wish there was a way
A
For me to trust you
F G
But it hurts me every time
A
I try to touch you
F G
But I miss you dandelion
A
And even love you
Asus2 F
I gravitated towards a patriarch
G A
So young predictably
A
I was resigned to spend my life
F G A
With a maze of misery
F
A boy and a girl befriended me
F6
We bonded through despondency
Fmaj7
I stayed so long but finally
F6/9
I fled to save my sanity

F G
And I miss you little sis and

Little brother

And I miss you little sis and

Little brother

So many I considered

Closest to me

Turned on a dime and sold me

Out dutifully

Although that knife was chipping

Away at me

They turned their eyes away and
Em/A A
Went home to sleep ...
Chorus 3:
Am/G F G
And I missed a lot of life
A
But l'II recover
F G
Though I know you really like
A
To see me suffer
F G
Still I wish that you and I'd
A
Forgive each other
F G
'Cause I miss you, Valentine
Asus2
And really loved you
I really loved you -
I tried so hard
But you drove me away
To preserve my sanity -
And I found the strength to break away
Fly...
