FLOWERS NEVER BEND
Paul Simon 


G 			Bm7
Through the corridors of sleep
  	C9		G
Past the shadows dark and deep
Bm			C9	    G    C  G
My mind dances and leaps in confusion.
G			Bm
I dont know what is real,
	C9		G
I can't touch what I feel
	Bm		C9		G
And I hide behind the shield of my illusion.


D	C		G		Em
So I'll continue to continue to pretend
Am7		    Em
My life will never end,
       A	   C
And flowers never bend
	    Gsus4  G
With the rainfall.



G   		Bm7
The mirror on my wall
 	C9		G
Casts an image dark and small
Bm		  C9		    G         C  G
But Im not sure at all its my reflection.
G   		Bm7
I am blinded by the light
 C9		       G
Of God and truth and right
        Bm         C9			G         C  G
And I wander in the night without direction.


D	C		G		Em
So I'll continue to continue to pretend
Am7		    Em
My life will never end,
       A	   C
And flowers never bend
	    Gsus4  G
With the rainfall.


     G   		Bm7
Its no matter if youre born
 	C9		G
To play the king or pawn
      Bm		C9			G         C  G
For the line is thinly drawn tween joy and sorrow,
G   	Bm7
So my fantasy
 C9	    G
Becomes reality
        Bm		C9		G         C  G
And I must be what I must be and face tomorrow.


D	C		G		Em
So I'll continue to continue to pretend
Am7		    Em
My life will never end,
       A	   C
And flowers never bend
	    Gsus4  G
With the rainfall.
