[Verse 1]
Gm/C Ab/C Ab/C (Gm/F Ab) x2
The flowers you gave me are rotting and still I refuse to throw them away.
Gm/C Ab/C
Some of the bulbs never opened quite fully.
Gm/C Ab/C Ab Gm/F Ab
They might so I'm waiting and staying awake.
[Chorus]
Bbm Db/Ab Eb7/G Ab Gm Fm Cm
Things I have loved I'm allowed to keep.
Bbm Db/Ab Eb7/G Ab Gm Fm Cm
I'll never know if I go to sleep.

[Verse 2] (Like first verse)
The papers around me are piling and twisting
Regina the paper back mummy what then.
I'm taking the knife to the books that I own
and chopping and chopping and boiling soup stone.
[Chorus]
Bbm Db/Ab Eb7/G Ab Gm Fm Cm
Things I have loved I'm allowed to keep.
Bbm Db/Ab Eb7/G Ab Gm Fm Cm
I'll never know if I go to sleep.
Bbm Db/Ab Eb7/G Ab Gm Fm Cm
Things I have loved I'm allowed to keep.
Bbm Db/Ab Eb7/G Ab Gm Fm Cm
I'll never know if I go to sleep.
