Eden(Chords)

e e heeeee  
  
Am F C F C F G C  
  
F C  
we are the roses in the garden  
F C  
beauty with thorns among our leaves  
F C G  
to pick a rose you ask your hands to bleed   
  
F C  
but what is the reason for having roses  
F C  
when your blood is shed carelessly?  
F C G Am   
it must be for something more than vanity   
  
Am F C F C F G  
  
Am F C  
believe me, the truth is we're not honest  
F C  
not the people that we dream  
F C G  
we're not as close as we could be   
  
F C  
willing to grow but rains are shallow  
F C  
barren and wind-scattered seed  
F C G   
on stone and dry land, we will be  
  
F C  
waiting for the light arisen   
F C F C  
to flood inside the prison   
G  
and in that time  
F C  
kind words alone will teach us  
F C F C  
no bitterness will reach us  
F C Am  
reason will be guided in another way   
  
  
Am F C F C F G (2x)  
  
G  
all in time...  
F C  
but the clock is another demon  
F C F C  
that devours our time in Eden  
G  
in our paradise   
  
  
F C  
Will our eyes see well beneath us,  
F C F C G  
flowers all divine?   
G  
Is there still time?   
F C  
If we wake and discover   
F C F C  
in life a precious love,   
F C Am  
will that waking become more heavenly?  
C
