[Intro]
B C#m F# B
[Verse 1]
B C#m
You are a flower in the city
F# B
Growing up between the subway tracks
B C#m
Each day I wish that I could take you with me
F# B
And put you in my finest vase of glass
[Chorus]
D#m Dm C#m
If you stared at me for hours I'd be happy
D#m Dm C#m
If you blessed my life with sweetness I'd stay sane
D# E
But to pick a flower is to pick its day of dyin’
B
So I won't play God
F# B
And you'll remain
B C#m F# B
[Verse 2]
B C#m
You are the moon above my window
F# B
Shining down upon my sleepless face
B C#m
One night I pulled you down and we went walking
F# B
Through the empty streets alone in our embrace
[Chorus]
D#m Dm C#m
I could hold you here forever in this silence
D#m Dm C#m
Where your light would shine for no one else but me
D# E
But to steal the moon is to doom the world to darkness
B
So I won't play God;
F# B
I will set you free
B C#m F# B
[Verse 3]
B C#m
You are a flower in the city
F# B
Growing through the concrete by yourself
B C#m
Oh how I wish that I could take you with me
F# B
But you can't grow in a prison on my shelf
[Outro]
F# C#m B
No, you can't grow in a prison on my shelf
