(Verse 1)
[C]I saw you [Fm]dance alone down the [C]waterline[Fm]
[C]You were [Fm]searching for secrets [Am]lost in the [G]setting [F]sun
[C]I said just [Fm]wait a while and you'll [C]understand[Fm]
[C]How the [Fm]wintry warlord gave [Am]poets [G]another [F]try
[Fm]To figure the reasons [C]why, it takes a
[Dm]Laugh and a [Em]half to [F]unveil your [G]scarlet [Fm]eyes[C]
(Verse 2)
She returned, was wearing that rose so well
Broke down and cried because of the sun that had been up all day
At the movies there would have been rain
Oh, the bittersweet irony, rain replaced by tears
(Chorus 1)
Ain't it [Fm]funny how some [C]things, look so [Eb]different from [Bb]afar
When it [Fm]comes to me and [C]you
The mirror [Cm]stole our perfect [Bb]view, now there is [Cm]nothing left we can [Bb]do
And the [Cm]story is done at [Bb]last, for the [Ab]ghost of flowers [Bb]past
(Guitar Melody) x2

(Verse 3)
I saw you shape the wings of a butterfly
Until the colors fit like a puzzle already done
But who am I to question the grand design?
Another headstone written to fix every broken rhyme
Carved in the hands of time, for the singer inside to remind us of your life
(Chorus 2)
In a place where nothing is real, let me tell you how I feel
Didn't know which heart to mend
So here's a drink to absent friends, for a love that never did end
And the story is done at last, for the ghost of flowers past

[Eb]Memories of [Ab]yesteryear, is a [Cm]part of [Bb]you we'll travel [Abm]here, now
[Eb]The curtains call this [Ab]day upon us, so [Eb]ride this [Abm]wave on [Cm]wings of [Abm]wondering
[Eb]Why those [Cm]scarlet [Fm]eyes still [Bb]haunt me [Eb]today[Abm] [Eb]

(Verse 4)
[C]Back to the first [Fm]day of summer
[C]The flowers that past [Fm]greet the sunlight
[Am]Again with a song, [G]sung by angels of [F]love
[C]So who am I now? [Fm]In the distance
[C]I hear broken words, [Fm]calling me to the
[Am]Rhythmless core, [G]trapped forever
[F]In love with the girl on the shore
(Guitar Melody)

(Break 2)
[Fmaj7]In a place where nothing's [Em7]real, I feel like [Fmaj7]telling you just [Em7]why
[Fmaj7]We all drink to absent [Em7]friends, and for a [Dm7]love that never [G7]dies
Ain't it funny how the mirror makes sure perfect never lasts
It all starts and ends right here with you, my ghost of flowers past
(Verse 5)
I saw you dance alone down the waterline
You were searching for secrets lost in the setting sun
I saw you shape the wings of a butterfly
Now the riddle fits like a puzzle already done
Though life had just begun
[Dm]I will meet you [Em]again on the s[F]hores where l[G]overs r[C]un[A]
[Dm]I will meet you [Em]again on the s[F]hores where l[G]overs r[C]un[A]
[Dm]I will meet [Em]you ag[F]ain [G]on the [F]shor[Fm]es, where lovers [C]run[Fm] [C]
