Dandelion

Intro 
E 


[Verso 1]
 
E 
Running through fields of gold 
F#m 
Acting young but feeling old 
A                               E 
Stuck on loop somewhere inside time's race 
            F#m       A               E 
As I watch dandelions break upon your face 
E 
You know I live to make ya laugh 
      F#m 
But I wanna die when you cry like that 
A 
Some silly clown 
          E 
You keep hanging around 
           F#m                            A 
Watch as I pantomime some worn-out act of mine 
              E 
Makeup on my face 
 


[Verso 2]
 
E 
Blowin' bubbles just to pass the time 
F#m 
Singin' songs and makin' rhymes 
        A                              E 
Chewin' chewing gum outside some space station 
            F#m                        A 
Songs about butterflies, written with friends of mine 
                E 
From some other time 
 


[Verso 3]
 
E 
Well, how far off is the storm? 
F#m 
Watch out for the lightning's warnin' 
         A                     E 
You can count the mils on the clock like a child 
A 
One, Mississippi 
E 
Two, Tnnessee 
F#m 
Three, Georgia, baby 
E 
Four 
A 
Five, Oklahoma 
E 
Six, my sweet Kansas 
F#m 
Seven, Colorado 
    E 
One more 
          F#m 
Just call it nine miles 
           A 
It's gonna take a while 
              E 
To reach our door 
 


[Verso 4]
 
E 
Here comes rain, here comes the flood 
F#m 
Here comes fire and that other stuff 
           A 
Well, how bad is it? 
             E 
And just how bad can it get? 
           F#m                    A 
Notice the water lines up on the highway signs 
           E 
Written in rust 
    F#m                              A 
Now notice the dandelions, somehow it stays dry 
            E 
Despite the rain 
 


[Verso 5]
 
E 
You know life can be a gamble 
F#m 
Especially when you ramble 
      A 
Well, bet on yourself this time 
E 
To make it out alive 
             F#m       A        E 
Just like a dandelion (Mm-mm-mm) 
                   F#m        A       E 
You're just like a dandelion (Mm-mm-mm)
