D B7 Em D B Em

[Chorus]

D                   B        Em 
I wonder if you'll leave me 
        A
behind someday
          D                    B  
Among the wildflowers and the 
    Em              A
lilies sleeping by the way
D         B
But it’s okay
Em                  D           B Em
Because I would do anything for you

[Verse 1]

Am Em A

G            Am     D           B7
The sunlight dances beyond the yard
Em                        D   B7
And painted your eyes in green
Em                         D     B7
But you're fixated on the candytufts
Em
And you hadn't the time for me

[Chorus]

D                    B7      Em 
I wonder if you’ll leave me 
        A
behind someday
           D                   B7 
Among the wildflowers and the 
      Em             A
lilies sleeping by the way
 D         B
But it's okay
Em                    D        B7 Em
Because I would do anything for you

[Verse 2]

G            Em   Am     D     
I washed my hair til it 
            B
trickled down the drain
Em              Gm         D  B7
As the lavender filled the air
Em         Am             D    B7
The scent might drive me half insane
Em
But maybe you'll see me then

[Chorus]

   D                B7        Em 
I wonder if you'll leave me 
      A
behind someday
           D                   B7 
Among the wildflowers and the 
     Em             A
lilies sleeping by the way
 D        B
But it's okay
Em                    D          
Because I would do anything for 
B7 Em
you

[Verse 3]

G          Am      D       B
The rhododendrons crimson flame
     Em                 D B7
Set fire to the sleepy air
Em                 D       B
And lit the early morning haze
      Em
That glistened in your tangled hair

G                Am      D   B
The thorns grew tighter everyday
            Em              D B
Round your ankles dripping red
Em                          D
You placed a crown of marigolds on 
my head
      B
And then you said
       Em                       
As you tried to pull your bloody 
        Am   A
hands away

[Chorus]

     D           B         Em
I'm never gonna leave you behind 
someday
        B                        
In the daisies and the bluebells 
Em
weeping by the way
D           B       Em          
Because I love you, and I would 
         E  D
do anything
        B             Em         
I would do anything, anything at 
A  Em
all

[Ending]

  D                B      Em     
I wonder when you left me behind 
      A
that day
D                  B      Em    
Asleep beneath the willow 
    A
withering away
    D        B
If you were okay
Em                  D      B      Em
Because I would do anything for you

            D
I would do anything
