[D] [F#]
[Bm]
[D] [A]
[B]
[D] [A]
[Bm]
[D] Just before [A] the rain
And the wind will swallow back the [Bm] new love
[D] [A]
And the [Bm] English roses
[F#] She'll [D] now be [A] blazing
Round and round and round in [Bm] the morning
[D] [A] Storms always find her
Do we [B] run
[D] [A]
[Bm]
[D] To the endless [A] sky
We can't go back [B] there
[D] That's what I said
[A]
But it's true
[Bm]
[B] Maybe [D] [A] it's true
Some things are [F#m] just never meant [Bm] to be
[D] [A] Maybe not
[E]
[Bm] This is a story
[A]
This [D] is a new world
[E]
[B] We're going left to [A] right
Long before [E] sun
[Bm] This is a [A] story
Of a girl [D] who lived next [E] door
[D] Helping cross someone to her
[B]
I [D]
[A]
[B] [Bm] [D]
[A]
[Bm] [D] wish that I was [A] gone
But I'm here tonight
[Bm] [D] The garden she [A] went
A thousand broken [B] leaves
She [D] yelled to him, no
So carefully, [B] but
[D] Using the [A] English roses
To [E] make friends
[Bm] This is a [A] story
You stay [E] here
[Bm] Flowers and [A] flowers
You [D] can't use in every [E] room
[Bm] [B] This is a story
[A] Of a [Bm] girl who lived next [E] door
