Goodbye Ms Flower Thief

D                             A
Holding on, love’s poor grip , so it
 ends, no clarity
Bm                             
It’s quite odd, I can’t help but 
        G
think, true happiness is found alone
D                             A
Holding on, life’s poor grip, so it 
ends, too easily
Bm                             
It’s quite odd, I can’t help but 
         G
think, true happiness is found alone
E        G        F#m            
In a dream, in a dream, I’ve been 
 Bm
thinking through the dreams that I 
have
G                               A
Seaside, near the growing tide, lies
 a kitten’s sweet demise

[Chorus]
                 D
Bid you farewell (pa pa pa pa)
                                A
Plucking petals off each flower (pa 
pa pa pa)
                           Bm
feet pressed flat we ran across the 
shore, with fear no more
   G
And oh so lightly, I oh so lightly…
                 D
Bid you farewell (pa pa pa pa)
                                 A
Gulping them, swallow the flowers 
(pa pa pa pa) we both leap into the 
sea,
     Bm
 our bodies nude, we feel so free
   G
I get the feeling, I’m truly living…
               E                 G
“By the way, I know you also know.
                F#m                
Lies are clearer when, your fingers
 Bm
 feel and grasp it,
     G               A            
 to touch your chin. You’re doing 
           D
it right now.”
A      Bm       G

D                           A
Days that seem too average, will run
 out in a few years
Bm                             
It’s quite odd, I can’t help but 
           G
feel the sadness grow from thoughts 
alone
D                           A
And as you, someone shining, can die
 off, too easy
Bm                             
It’s quite odd, I can’t help but 
           G
feel the sadness grow from thoughts 
alone
E         G            F#m      
Give me love, give me love, I’ll
      Bm
 eat love that you have to offer
G                               A
She said, “Strangle me instead, your
 hands, I want around my neck.”

[Chorus]
                  D
Bid you farewell (pa pa pa pa)
                             A
Tearing love up into pieces (pa pa 
pa pa) red-cheeked the feeling 
spreads,
        Bm
 we’ll lose our clothes, it’s you I 
chose,
      G
And gracefully so, I’ll gracefully 
so…
                 D
Bid you farewell (pa pa pa pa)
                                  A
Gulping love, to swallow it down (pa
 pa pa pa) two of us we sleep 
together,
 Bm
 lying down on dirty sheets
  G
I get the feeling, I’m truly living…
E               G             F#m
 “By the way, I know you also know.
                         Bm   
This small thing that’s called 
                           G
‘eternal happiness’ will never 
exist.
        A
 Cause even flowers wilt away?”
D     A    Bm    G

[Verse 3]
                     D
Days had passed and, after some time
 it was you who came back to the 
shore
A                                 
(Pa pa pa pa) Sighing into the 
       Bm
night you let it sound the fondest 
of breaths
G
The taste of chocolate, the taste of
 chocolate, mimicking it,
D
Tasting sweet and tasting bitter, 
both held a special feeling
A                           
(Pa pa pa pa) While I smoke a 
                 Bm
cigarette I’ll wait until the 
morning comes
    G
So hold me tightly, please hold me 
tightly

[Chorus]
                  D#
Bid you farewell (pa pa pa pa)
                                A#
Plucking petals off each flower (pa 
pa pa pa)
                           Cm
 feet pressed flat we ran across the
 shore, with fear no more
    G#
And oh so lightly, I oh so lightly…
                   D#
Bid you farewell (pa pa pa pa)
Gulping them, swallow the flowers 
 A#
(pa pa pa pa)
                             Cm
we both leap into the sea, our 
bodies nude, we feel so free
  G#
I get the feeling, I’m truly living…
             F                    
“Can we get another chance here to
G#                     Gm
 try? Loving feelings we want to 
bloom.”
Cm                              
“Look up, it’s here. Spring has 
G#
surely come.”
A#                           D#
“Let’s go and steal some flowers.”
D#   A#    Cm     G#
