Flowers On The Grave

INTRO:
A  F#m  B  D  A


VERSE:
 A
Feel the moment all around you
F#m
   And the quiet that surrounds you
     B
The time you have is sacred
       E
Don't wait around and waste it
      D
They can't take that away from you

A
   Everything is temporary
F#m
   Even the sorrow that you carry
    B
So tell me are you okay?
 E
You say you are okay
 D
I'm okay now I'm with you


CHORUS:
                  A
'Cause you don't plan life, you live it
           A
You don't take love, you give it
           F#m
You can't change what is written
         D
So when fate cries, you listen
     F#m             D
And flowers on the grave
        F#m          D          A  F#m  B  D  A
Of the child that I used to be


VERSE:
A
It was summer when you told me
F#m
   That you loved me by the oak creek
    B
My ears had never heard that
 E
Tongue forgot the words and
 D
Feet forgot the Earth, it's true


CHORUS:
                  A
'Cause you don't plan life, you live it
           A
You don't take love, you give it
           F#m
You can't change what is written
         D
So when fate cries, you listen
     F#m             D
And flowers on the grave
        F#m          D          A  F#m  B  D  A
Of the child that I used to be


CHORUS:
           A
You don't plan life, you live it
           A
You don't take love, you give it
           F#m
You can't change what is written
           D
Yeah, and karma is calling over and over

           A
You don't plan life, you live it
           A
You don't take love, you give it
           F#m
You can't change what is written
         D
So when fate cries, you listen
     F#m             D
And flowers on the grave
        F#m          D
Of the child that I used to be
