G                        C
I once knew a girl who had daisy for fingers
     G                           C
grew lollipops straight from her hair.
    Am                   D
She traveled by pony and never looked lonely,
   Am                           D
my friend she'd insist without care.
G                      C
Called all her family, spoke mostly harmony,
G                             C
seemed to have it figured out.
Am                     D
Painted in rainbows in shades only she knows
 Am                      D
around her ideas came to sprout.

    C               Cm               G
And now that we are older, she still haunts me.
        C                  Cm            G
Through dark and warm she always wears a smile.
        Em     D         G       A
So for you, my friend, a song to say,
     C     Em  F    D  G
"I'm still inspired by you."

  G                          C
I asked her how one could be positive and hopeful
     G                      C
when everything falls apart.
 Am
"Life isn't fair," she said.
 D
"Make it a fair," she said.
 Am                             D
"Always be prepared," she said.
"To sing."

G
Love is invented,
C
and wars are prevented,
G                       C
and we can do anything.

Am
Chin up and be it,
    D
for that's what I'll be
           Am
when we're eighty years young
         D
we'll be here, you'll see

    C               Cm               G
And now that we are older, she still haunts me.
        C                  Cm            G
Through dark and warm she always wears a smile.
        Em     D         G       A
So for you, my friend, a song to say,
     C     Em  F    D  G
"I'm still inspired by you."

     C     Em  F    D  G
"I'm still inspired by you."

C
Somewhere in the world
     F
she plants trials of jellybeans
Bb                          Cm
Some leave them be and some take.
   Eb                       F
In her eyes she makes a mistake,
            G
it's now a better place

     C                          F
When love finally whisked her away from the rest,
    Bb                      Cm
She wondered how we all continue to spin
 Eb                        F
around and around 'til we lift off the ground,
    G                            C
for what would she be without us?

    C               Cm               G
And now that we are older, she still haunts me.
        C                  Cm            G
Through dark and warm she always wears a smile.
        Em     D         G       A
So for you, my friend, a song to say,
     C     Em  F    D  G
"I'm still inspired by you."
     C     Em  F    D  G
"I'm still inspired by you." (x3)
