[Intro]
F#m E A D

[Verse 1]
F#m
5:36 a.m., I was
'bout
    E
to start my day
           A
But she lay in
there
across me,
           D
so I stayed anyway
F#m
Arms tied, legs
numb, and
   E
wrapped around
my knees
     A
Sweetest of the
sunflowers, yeah, 
 D
you're the sun
to me
F#m E A D
           F#m
I don't recall what 
you were wearing
on the
     E
first night we met
               A
Besides the subtle
clouds around you
from
       D
my last cigarette
         F#m
And you come from a
good place with
       E
a happy family
      A
Only bad you ever
done was to see
     D
the good in me

livin',
 waitin'

[Verse 2]
F#m
And I remember being
younger, and my
E
mother told me truth
        A
Find someone who
grows flowers in the
    D
darkest parts of you
F#m
Take heed when
things get
hard and don't you
 E
ever turn around
              A
You'll find someone,
someday, somewhere
That'll grow you
 D
to the clouds, oh
F#m E A D
          F#m
And you walked me
home
that evening when
 E
I could barely walk
            A
And you spoke to me
so sweetly
on the days
    D
I couldn't talk
               F#m
And now I'm seeing
clearly and I'm
           E
growing up so free
    A
Sweetest of the
sunflowers, yeah,
    D
you're the sun to me

[Chorus]
       D         A
But I've been livin',
waitin'
   E      F#m
on the day
            D
That the good Lord
       A
willin', send
   E        F#m
you out my way
              D
I've seen hard times,
    A
bad luck, and all
 E           F#m
that's in-between
     D
Sweetеst of the
       A
sunflowers, yeah,
