[Intro]
Em C

[Verse]
Em                                               C
I parachuted to the ground with ease
G
I wish my thoughts could be as light as me
C
But nothing floats inside my head

Em                                                       C
So I walk towards the lights and down
G
Pass the bars and folks from my hometown
C
I don’t feel part of anything

[Bridge]
Am                   C                   Em           C
I’ve seen a girl in a yellow dress and
Am                   C                   Em                   C
I wonder if I might have loved her the best
Am                   C                   G                                     C
Well there’s something about her eyes that brings me down

[Verse]
Em                                                       C
Freedom is a gun beneath the chin
G
And the root of all the shit I’m in
C
It should have been easier for me

[Bridge]
Am                   C                   Em        C
The night explodes in the silhouette
Am                   C                                     Em                   C
Of the man that I know with his arms outstretched
Am                                     C                   G                   C
There is something about forgiveness, it brings me down

[Chorus]
G
Underneath the moon when the sun falls
C
Out behind the city
G                                     C                                     G
I’ve been walking there while the stars shined pretty
Em                                     C
In the garden of forget-me-nots
Em                                            C
In the garden of forget-me-nots
Em                                        C
In the garden of forget-me-nots

[Solo]
Em C G C

[Bridge]
Am                   C                   Em         C
I’ve seen a girl in a yellow dress and
Am                   C                   Em                   C
I wonder if I might have loved her the best
Am                   C                                     G                                     C
Well there’s something about her eyes that brings me down

[Chorus]
G
Underneath the moon when the sun falls
C
Out behind the city
G                                     C                                     G
I’ve been walking there while the stars shined pretty
G
Underneath the moon when the sun falls
C
Out behind the city
G                                     C                                     G
I’ve been walking there while the stars shined pretty
Em                                     C
In the garden of forget-me-nots
Em                                     C
In the garden of forget-me-nots
Em                                                       C
