FLOWERS NEVER BEND WITH THE RAINFALL
Words & music by Paul Simon 1965
|G |Bm
Through the corridors of sleep
|Cmaj7 |G
Past the shadows dark and deep
|Bm |Cmaj7 |G |C G
My mind dances and leaps in confusion.
| |Bm
I don't know what is real,
|Cmaj7 |G
I can't touch what I feel
|Bm |Cmaj7 |G |C G|
And I hide behind the shield of my illusion.
D | |C |G | |Em |
So I'll continue to continue to pretend
|C6 | |Em |
My life will never end,
|A | |C |C/D |G
And Flowers Never Bend With The Rainfall.
|G |Bm
The mirror on my wall
|Cmaj7 |G
Casts an image dark and small
|Bm |Cmaj7 |G |C G
But I'm not sure at all it's my reflection.
| |Bm
I am blinded by the light
|Cmaj7 |G
Of God and truth and right
|Bm |Cmaj7 |G |C G|
And I wander in the night without direction.
D | |C |G | |Em |
So I'll continue to continue to pretend
|C6 | |Em |
My life will never end,
|A | |C |C/D |G
And Flowers Never Bend With The Rainfall.
|G |Bm
It's no matter if you're born
|Cmaj7 |G
To play the King or pawn
|Bm |Cmaj7 |G |C G
For the line is thinly drawn 'tween joy and sorrow,
| |Bm
So my fantasy
|Cmaj7 |G
Becomes reality,
|Bm |Cmaj7 |G |C G|
And I must be what I must be and face tomorrow.
D | |C |G | |Em |
So I'll continue to continue to pretend
|C6 | |Em |
My life will never end,
|A | |C |C/D |G
And Flowers Never Bend With The Rainfall.
