[Am][D][G][Em][Am][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]And
I hark [C]sorrow to my [G]mind
As a mother [Bm]to her breast,
a stillborn [C]child
And of my [Am]nights I make [D]black paper [G]roses,
[Em]And to my aftern[Am]oons
I [D]take fancy bal[G]loons.[C]
[G]I love the s[C]ilver of your g[G]old,[C]
[G]I love the gen[Bm]tle of your day[C],
[Em]I love the une[Am]xpected tender of your way[D]
I even [G]love the sudden win[D]ters
of your [G]May[C]
[G]And of my nig[Am]hts
I make [D]black paper [G]roses
[Em]An d to my a[Am]fternoons
I [D]dip fancy bal[G]loons
[C]I w[G]atch and list[C]en to the song[G][C]
[G]of how you [Bm]loved me once,
but not for [C]long
[Em]Yet [Bm]in yo[Em]ur abse[Am]nce
I would [Gsus4]love you once agai[D]n
It helps to [G]ease my mind
and [D]takes away the [G]pain
[C]An [G]d of my nig[Am]hts I
make [D]black paper [G]roses
[Em]An d to my a[Am]fternoons
I [D]dig fancy bal[G]loons[C][G][Am][D][G][Em]

[G][C]
[G]And of my [Am]nights
I made [D]black paper [G]roses
[Em]An d to my a[Am]fternoons
I [D]did fancy bal[G]loons[C]
[G]And of my [Am]nights
I made [D]black paper [G]roses
[Em]An d to my a[Am]fternoons
I [D]did fancy bal[G]loons
[C]An [G]d of my nig[Am]hts I made,
[D]black paper ros[G]es,[Em]
and to my [Am]afternoons
I did [D]fancy dreams.
