Intro: B5 cis gis  

B5            C#5            G#5           
Saw him on a Friday outside some run down saloon   
       B5            C#5           G#5  
he was cryin over someone that he felt left much too soon   
  B5                       C#5  
I said, hey boy don't you cry tonight  
       G#5   
let me take you out on this town   
   B5                C#5                G#5  
he looked at me and smiled as one last tear splashed off the ground   
     B5              C#5               G#5  
with half a wink he asked me what are you some kind of freak  
  B5              C#5                    G#5               
I told him no, I guess I just feel your vibe is kinda deep  
    B5              C#5   
the moon hung over soho   
      G#5  
and I counted 16 stars   
  B5              C#5               G#5  
I pointed at the brightest one and said now that one's ours  


B5            C#5            G#5  
he's a dandelion, up on his hill above the sea   
B5                C#5          G#5  
he's not exactly everything I thought that he might be   
B5           C#5  
he's a dandelion   
               G#5  
he looks like everything I need   
  B5                C#5  
I thought he was a flower   
      G#5  
but I found out he's a weed   


      B5        C#5         G#5   B5  
Then I hold on hold on hold on   
        C#5          G#5        
hold on hold on hold on   

he might just be poison   
but I took him to my roof top   
I said are you afraid of heights,   
He said no I am not   
I said hey boy don't you lie to me, tell me everything you feel   
we danced around in circles,   
He said I think we found something real   

he's a dandelion, up on his cliff above the sea   
he's not exactly everything I thought that he might be   

he's a dandelion   
he looks like everything I need   
I thought he was a flower   
but I found out he's a weed   

Then I hold on hold on hold on   
hold on hold on hold on   
Down in union square   
I saw him walking all alone   
I walked a little slower just so I'd remain unknown   
he met someone on seventeenth that he knew her all too well   
my little piece of heaven has a secret he won't tell   
with half a smile he took her hand   
and then they walked away   
I realized I would not see my boy after today   

I fell in love with a dandelion   
and he's all I ever had
