Am
There’s a staircase in my living room
A
And it leads to knowhere land
Am
There are flowers growing from my wall
A                        Dm
They lend a touching hand

They are flowers that only I can touch
I must turn my back before I rush
To their self-destroying beauty
That only I can touch

Am            G
I slowly turn, and take a step

Chorus:
Am             G
I feel a change, that I accept
Am          G
Is it a game I will regret

As I play I see me winning
And I gain what’s called self pride
And I turn around with a smiling sigh
See a flower that has died

Chorus:
I feel a change, another change
Another game, I will have learnt

There’s a staircase in my living room
And it leads to knowhere land
There are flowers growing from my wall
They need a helping hand

Chorus:
I feel a change, another change
Another game I will have learnt

I slowly turn, and take a step

Chorus:
I feel a change, that I’ll accept
Is it a game, I will regret
