[Intro 1]
[D][C][G][D]

[Verse 1]
You're [C]standing in
the road
You're standing [G]in [D]of the
You stare out in yellow eye[C]s
Larger [G]than [D]my mind
In viscous pools of joy
Re[C]laxing [G]we [D]glide
[Am]It's all t[C]oo beaut[D]iful for
[Am]my m[C]ind to b[D]ear
And as we [Am]shimmer [C]in to
[G]sleep[D]
Something's unshared
But see, the flower that
[C]was the[G]re yesterday
[D]A t[A]ear[D] falls just behind
[C]the soft peace [G]of your [D]shades[A]
[Am]The [C]world's [D]too lonely
[A]for [C]a message t[D]o slip
But between [A]the [Am]dyin[C]g rails of p[G]eace,
you [D]tread.

[Verse 2]
[D]The petals that were blooming
Are just [C]paper [G]in [D]your hand
[A]Your [D]eyes, which were clear in the nig[C]ht,
are [G]opaque [D]as you [A]stand[Am]
It [C]was [D]too beautiful [Am]for a[C] little loss[D]
These visions [Am]shimmer
and [C]fade out [G]of the [D]glass
The petals that were blooming
are [C]just paper [G]in your [D]hand
[A]The[D] petals that were blooming
are [C]just paper [G]in [D]your [A]hand
[D]The petals that were blooming
are just [C]paper [G]in your hand
