FLOWERS NEVER BEND WITH THE RAINFALL
Paul Simon
Album : Songbook 1965
[Verse 1]
G Bm7
Through the corridors of sleep
C G
Past the shadows dark and deep
Bm C G C G
My mind dances and leaps in confusion.
G Bm
I dont know what is real,
C G
I can't touch what I feel
Bm C G
And I hide behind the shield of my illusion.
[Chorus]
D C G Em
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
C G
Casts an image dark and small
Bm C G C G
But Im not sure at all its my reflection.
G Bm7
I am blinded by the light
C G
Of God and truth and right
Bm C G C G
And I wander in the night without direction.
[Chorus]
D C G Em
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 3]
G Bm7
Its no matter if youre born
C G
To play the king or pawn
Bm C G C G
For the line is thinly drawn tween joy and sorrow,
G Bm7
So my fantasy
C G
Becomes reality
Bm C G C G
And I must be what I must be and face tomorrow.
[Chorus]
D C G Em
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.
