Flowers Never Bend Chords

FLOWERS NEVER BEND


Paul Simon 
Album : Songbook  1965	

VERSE 1
G 			Bm7
Through the corridors of sleep

  	C9		G
Past the shadows dark and deep

Bm			C9	    G    C  G
My mind dances and leaps in confusion.

G			Bm
I dont know what is real,

	C9		G
I can't touch what I feel

	Bm		C9		G
And I hide behind the shield of my illusion.

CHORUS:

D	C		G		Em
So I'll continue to continue to pretend

Am7		    Em
My life will never end,

       A	   C
And flowers never bend

	    Gsus4  G
With the rainfall.

VERSE 2

G   		Bm7
The mirror on my wall

 	C9		G
Casts an image dark and small

Bm		  C9		    G         C  G
But Im not sure at all its my reflection.

G   		Bm7
I am blinded by the light

 C9		       G
Of God and truth and right

        Bm         C9			G         C  G
And I wander in the night without direction.

CHORUS

VERSE 3:

     G   		Bm7
Its no matter if youre born

 	C9		G
To play the king or pawn

      Bm		C9			G         C  G
For the line is thinly drawn tween joy and sorrow,

G   	Bm7
So my fantasy

 C9	    G
Becomes reality
        Bm		C9		G         C  G
And I must be what I must be and face tomorrow.

CHORUS
