Maria Taylor - Orchids 

Capo 9 

When strumming the chords miss the first string (Highest string) and pull back up 
on the second. I think that's how Maria plays it. 

Intro: 

G x4
 

G                     Am
I won't get mad and I won't break in two
        G             C
Because I understand you
G              
Now take this change
             Am
And let my clothes soak with rain
     G               C
As I study orchid blooms
    Am         G
And some can't live
            C               G
Unless they feed on fallen leaves
              Am
And so you'll let me down
          C
To come alive
                 G
When you comfort me

Break: G x 4 (Now bringing in the first string and then taking it back out when 
the lyrics start again) 

G
I've watched you change
                Am
I've heard your words rearrange
 G                    C
Played back from the start
G                      Am
And if I did teach you anything at all 
          G                           C
I hope it was to love with all your heart
    Am           G
And they open wide
        C            G
With imperfect symmetry
               Am
And so you'll love like you
    C                G
And I will love like me

Break: G G G G x5

    Am    G 
And to be reborn
     C             G
They have to go to sea
        Am              C               G
And so, angel, you will have to set me free
