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