Bouquet

Dm Db C Bb


[Verse 1]
              Dm
I've got this big old box with all 
these flowers
Db
Aren't they pretty?
                C
I'm walking for hours feeling witty
             Bb
So I stumble upon you not having a 
good day
     Dm                            
So I say, "Hey, hey! Just take one 
      Db
of my flowers"

And you say thanks
C
And it brightens up your day
                         Bb
And you head on your way

Now I have one less flower
But that's okay 'cause I say that 
             Bb
I'll be okay


[Verse 2]
     Dm                      
Just seven pretty flowers all 
 Db
wrapped in a box
       C         N.C.               
    Bb
I wish they were limitless, but 
they're not
    Dm
She sits in the corner crying
      Db                         
And I wipe her tears with a large 
    C
sunflower
                     Bb
And she takes it and gets filled 
with joy
      Dm                           
And I sink a little bit deeper but 
       Db
that's fine
                            C
Because I've still got some flowers 
left
                Bb
I think some of them I should've 
kept
                  Dm
But it's too late now
                         Db
'Cause I'm helping other people
                  C
So that makes it okay
             Bb
It's not too late

[Verse 3]
        Dm
Another day, another flower
         Db
Are you okay? Another flower
              C
Out of harm's way
        Bb   N.C.
Another day, another flower
Dm                      Db
Three, two, one flowers left
                      C
And I'm running oh so low
                   Bb
So low on the life that I once had
         Dm                        
I take a glance at my friend in the
         Db
 garden
C                          Bb
  And they need a flower


[Verse 4]
       Dm
So I debate to give my flower
   Db                     C
To give them the power of joy in 
their life
    Bb                           
And fight away any sour thoughts 
Dm
that they have
             Db
Every single day
                 C
And take it on myself
                Bb
As I drift far away
Bb
Deeper into the dirt
Bb
I crawl like my flowers
Bb
'Cause now I'm all out
Bb
And I'm all out of sun
Bb
I wish I never had any flowers
                          N.C.
Because now, like a vase, I'm empty


[Verse 5]
                      Dm
But at least everyone else has my 
flowers
   Db
And that makes them happy
              C
So maybe it's worth it in the end
  Bb
A hand I could lend
        Dm                     Db 
Yet I'm losing grasp on my own 
             C   Bb
sense of life


[Verse 6]
                  Dm
But then I see her from across the 
room
            Db
She grips a bouquet of flowers

And so brightly they bloom
       C
Behind me the darkness looms
          C
So soon a tomb
             Bb
But I take a step towards her
        Dm
And her smile is like the water to 
my non-existent flowers
    Db
She hands me a rose

And her soft skin is like the sun
        C                          
It nourishes the dark that I've 
                          Bb
been hiding in for so long


[Verse 7]
         Dm
I have a flower once again

And happiness is where I seek
         Db
And maybe, just maybe, a whole 
garden I'll keep
          C
So always hold onto your flowers

For when the days get sour
       Bb     N.C.
You'll always be able to go back to 
that flower
