Intro: Gadd9 A6 | Hm | Gmaj

Gmaj              A6 
Someone’s selling garden roses
                 Gmaj
Down the square,
                 A6
People gathering by to breathe
                 Gmaj
The morning air,
                    A
Hut no one sees the bitter cold
   A#dim7      Hmadd9     Hmadd11 Hm Hmadd9
And shivering empty hands.

Gadd9               A6
A schoolgirl running by and trying
                  Gadd9
To beat the bell,
Gmaj            A
People dropping, tossing coins
   F#m     F#m+ Gadd9
In wishing wells,
                     A
Hut no one cares for dreams
             A#dim7  Hm        Hmadd9 Hm
That don’t fit into our world.

Chorus:
     Hm7  Gadd9      Gmaj A6
     Maybe nightfall
        F#m7     Hm Hmadd9
     Darkens skies
              G          Asus4
     And maybe teardrops
              F#m7 Hmsus4 Hm
     Stain our eyes,
        Hmadd9   Gmaj            A
     Hut may the slightest light
                   Gmaj Gmaj5-
     Start a fire.

  Gmaj           A6
A soldier in the hands
                    Gmaj
Of a forgotten mess
                A6              F#m7
Digging out the burning bullets
         Gmaj
In his chest,
                   A6
So eager, bold and noble –
         A#dim7     Hm            Hmadd9
Printing footsteps on this earth.

Chorus:
             Gmaj        A
     And maybe nightfall
        F#m7     Hm
     Darkens skies
            Gadd9        A
     And maybe teardrops
               F#m F#m+ F#m7 Hm
     Stain our eyes,
             Gmaj                A
     Hut may the slightest light
             Hm    F#7
     Start a fire,
           D       E6 E G
     Start a fire.
   D     Dmaj    Em              F# F#+ F#7
     Hut may the slightest light
               Hm
     Start a fire.
