Verse 1
I Was EOld By The Time That I Was Nine
I EsC#caped Into Books
And I CroF#mcheted To Pass The Time
When G#/CDeath Is CrowdingC#m Half Your View
It's F#mHard To PBlay With TEoys
How I EFought, How I Toiled, How I Lied
Discarded C#Lunches In The Trash Bin
F#mWeighing On My Mind
But G#/CI'm So Weak, MyC#m Shoulders Heavy
F#mTell Them HBow I TEried

Chorus
So, Now E​
C#Tell Them That I Had It MF#my Way
Down By The G#/CWaterfall And TwistedC#m Sideways
Died With F#mDaisies ABll AroEund
Me E​
I C#Tried So Long To Do Things YF#mour Way
The G#/CGlow Was Like An OpenC#m Doorway
Spreading F#mSlowly TBhrough The TErees
And When E​
The C#Heavens Came Down To MF#meet Me
I G#/CSwam Back To My Shadow,C#m Slammed The Door
Upon G#/CBreaking Through The Surface,C#m Wanted More
Than The G#/CVision Of My SlumberC#m Had In Store
I G#/CWent Back To My House AndC#m Lined My Door
With F#mDaisies ABll AroEund

Verse 2
I Make EFriends With The Others Pretty Quick
And I C#Remember My Nurse From The LF#mast Time That I Was Sick
He G#/CLooks Surprised, Says C#m“Memory's A F#mBlessing ABnd A CEurse

Chorus
Hey, Kid - E​
BeC#fore You Turn In For CF#murfew
I'm G#/CHoping That Your StarryC#m Dreams Come True
I G#/CHope That When You Leave, You'reC#m Born Anew
I G#/CHope That You Will Tend YourC#m Garden Filled With
F#mDaisies ABll ArEound.”

Verse 3
I Drive EHome From The Ward In My New Car
And Now The C#Radio Host Is Talking WF#mith A Falling Star
She G#/CStops To WhisperC#m In My Ear And F#mPut My MBind At EEase
Been A EYear Since I Sat There At The Park
Staring C#Up At The Sun Until The SF#mummer Went Dark
By G#/CGod, An AngelC#m Caught My Hand And F#mSwung Me BBack To EEarth

Chorus
And Now E​
I Am C#Closing In On My Third DF#mecade
I G#/CDrape The TableclothC#m Over My Past
And F#mHow This LBife AstEounds
Me! E​
Whether A C#Specter, Or A Trick Of My VF#mision
And Now, The G#/CLovingly DiscordantC#m Serenade
The G#/CTable Spread I Used MyC#m Heart To Make
My G#/CPlaying Cards In Hand, IC#m Hold An Ace
A G#/CToast To Every MemoryC#m I Had Saved
A G#/CChild Hands To Me AC#m Fresh Bouquet
I G#/CWant To Spend The Rest OfC#m All My Days
With F#mDaisies ABll ArEound
