Capo: 4th fret
[Intro]
G G Am7 Am D D7 G G
G Am7
You are a flower in the city
D D7 G
Growing up between the subway tracks
G Am7
Each day I wish that I could take you with me
D D7 G
And put you in my finest vase of glass
Bm7 Am7
If you stared at me for hours, I’d be happy
Bm7 Am7
If you blessed my life with sweetness, I’d stay sane
B7 C
But to pick a flower is to pick its day of dying
G D D7
So I won’t play god and you will remain
[Break]
G G Am Am7 D D7 G G
G Am7
You are the moon above my window
D D7 G
Smiling down upon my sleepless face
G Am7
One night I pulled you down and we went walking
D D7 G
Through the empty streets alone in our embrace
Bm7 Am7
I could hold you here forever in this silence
Bm7 Am7
Where your light would shine for no one else but me
B7 C
But to steal the moon That’s to doom the world to darkness
G D D7
So I won’t play god, I will set you free
[Break]
G G Am Am7 D D7 G
G Am7
You are a flower in the city
D D7 G
Growing in the concrete by yourself
G Am7
Oh how I wish I could take you with me
D D7 G
But you can’t grow in a prison on my shelf
D D7 G
No you can’t grow in a prison on my shelf
