Sunflower

D  F#m  Em  G  A

[Verse 1]
D
Six acres of concrete wasteland,
F#m
One sunflower standing tall.
Em                                
I didn't know your name, I didn't 
           G            A
know your fame, I just liked you, 
that's all

[Verse 2]
D                                 
I can not buy you diamond rings, 
   F#m
for Christ sake! I can barely sing
Em                           G   
...I feel like a teenager in 
                   A            D
danger of doing that "falling for" 
thing
D                          F#m   
I didn't mean for this to happen 
                         Em
but the greatest things happen
Em                     G
By accident, like the apple... on 
Issac's head.

[Chorus]
Bm               D
We sat for hours, you measured your 
thumb against mine
G
Electricity, shooting down my spine.
A                 Bm             
We sat for hours, we waited 'til 
    D
the sun went down
G                       A
Alighted the night bus, nowhere near
 this town...

[Verse 3]
D
Six acres of concrete wasteland,
F#m
One sunflower standing tall,
Em                                
I didn't know your name, I didn't 
           G                    A
know your fame, I just proper liked 
you, that's all
D                      F#m
We talked historys and pasts,
           Em
I let you read the second draft,
G
Converging through the afternoon.

[Chorus]
Bm               D
We sat for hours, you measured your 
thumb against mine
G
Electricity, shooting down my spine.
A                 Bm             
We sat for hours, you weathered 
   D
my monologue,
G                 A
A burning beacon, brilliant through 
the fog.

[Verse 4]
D                                 
Standing out from the crowd. 
  F#m
That's just the way you are,
        Em                     
To look that good should not be 
               G           A
allowed, our local movie star.
D                           F#m
The girls look on in envy, you guys 
look on in envy
Em                          G
Be la de da de da da da de dum
