Intro: B cis gis  

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


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


      B        C#         G#m   B  
Then I hold on hold on hold on   
        C#          G#m        
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
