G                        C 
I once knew a girl who had daisy for fingers 
     G                           C 
grew lollipops straight from her hair. 
    Am                   D 
She traveled by pony and never looked lonely, 
   Am                           D 
my friend she'd insist without care. 
G                      C 
Called all her family, spoke mostly harmony, 
G                             C 
seemed to have it figured out. 
Am                     D 
Painted in rainbows in shades only she knows 
 Am                      D 
around her ideas came to sprout. 

    C               Cm               G 
And now that we are older, she still haunts me. 
        C                  Cm            G 
Through dark and warm she always wears a smile. 
        Em     D         G       A 
So for you, my friend, a song to say, 
     C     Em  F    D  G 
"I'm still inspired by you." 

  G                          C 
I asked her how one could be positive and hopeful 
     G                      C 
when everything falls apart. 
 Am 
"Life isn't fair," she said. 
 D 
"Make it a fair," she said. 
 Am                             D 
"Always be prepared," she said. 
"To sing." 

G 
Love is invented, 
C 
and wars are prevented, 
G                       C 
and we can do anything. 

Am 
Chin up and be it, 
    D 
for that's what I'll be 
           Am 
when we're eighty years young 
         D 
we'll be here, you'll see 

    C               Cm               G 
And now that we are older, she still haunts me. 
        C                  Cm            G 
Through dark and warm she always wears a smile. 
        Em     D         G       A 
So for you, my friend, a song to say, 
     C     Em  F    D  G 
"I'm still inspired by you." 

     C     Em  F    D  G 
"I'm still inspired by you." 

C 
Somewhere in the world 
     F 
she plants trials of jellybeans 
Bb                          Cm 
Some leave them be and some take. 
   Eb                       F 
In her eyes she makes a mistake, 
            G 
it's now a better place 

     C                          F 
When love finally whisked her away from the rest, 
    Bb                      Cm 
She wondered how we all continue to spin 
 Eb                        F 
around and around 'til we lift off the ground, 
    G                            C 
for what would she be without us? 

    C               Cm               G 
And now that we are older, she still haunts me. 
        C                  Cm            G 
Through dark and warm she always wears a smile. 
        Em     D         G       A 
So for you, my friend, a song to say, 
     C     Em  F    D  G 
"I'm still inspired by you." 
     C     Em  F    D  G 
"I'm still inspired by you." (x3)
