[Verse 1]

D                Em7              Gmaj7
Blank, my paper folded up for flight
          D                 Em7
But gravity just pulled it down
                  Gmaj7           D
All soiled and worn, a leaf reborn
                  D
To feed the swarms

[Verse 2]

                           Em7             Gmaj7            D
And I sold it out, then sank with all the buoyancy of breath
              D
As it’s exiting my heavy chest
      Em7            Gmaj7
When all is set ablaze
               D
Despite the ways you try to change its progress

[Chorus]

        G           A          D
When chance lit the forest on fire
                     G        A         D
And leveled all we’d come to love and admire
                           G           A          D
Up through the black floor green stems grew up higher
                      G          A              D
And from that day we knew that flowers would bloom

[Verse 3]

D                  Em7              Gmaj7
Loose the knot and cut us from the cloth
                     D
These nets that caught our hungry stares
        Em7               Gmaj7
And showed us sight so plain
                 D
As right as rain, the joy and pain of breathing air

[Verse 4]

   Em7             Gmaj7              D
So open up your lungs and fill them up
                    D
The songs I have sung they started there
        Em7               Gmaj7              D
And this, our hallowed ground now burning down
                            D
The fate our hearts were bound to share

And leveled all we’d come to love and admire

Up through the black floor green stems grew up higher
                     G          A              D
And from that day we knew that flowers would bloom
     A                G          A             D
And from that day we knew that flowers would bloom
