A    Em          G
All your seven dreams
A           Em                G
Look close, son, and you'll believe
A         Em            G
As your things come undone
A               Em   G
See you are the only one

A                                 G
Flower, seize the hour I did I wait
A                                       G
Waiting, waiting for your wake I'll wait

Chorus:
A                               G D/F#
When you wake up you're all weak
A                      G D/F#
Throwing your life away
A         G D/F#       A  D/F# D   A  G D/F#
Someday, sorry coming home Sorry snail
          G
What you wait for

Flower, the pain will wash away, away
When the sun shines
Climbs through your window
Into your bed

Chorus:
When you wake up your own way
Throwing your life away
Softly, siren coming home
Siren snail
Yeah, that's my home

Flower, save the hours
Flower, away

What you wait for-ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Flower, chase the sunshine
Flower, chase the sunshine
Flower
