Intro: D - E - G - D D - E - G - D
D E G D
1. She dreams of the country, her eyes go far away,
D E - G D
she wishes for flowers, he says, 'Perhaps in May.'
D E G D
The city always was gray, the reflections of his eyes,
D E G D
and she knows he liked it that way, and that way he shall die, well.
D G - D G
She's always known, that there was something more.
D G
There's this hunger in her belly like an instinct,
D G
it tells her that there's something more.
A G
This living shouldn't be called living,
D
'cause it's really only half a life.
A G
She's a flower that grows despite cement holes -
- - - D - A - G A D - A - G
and she will survive, she will survive.
D E - G D
2. She's a rare breed with violet eyes and leafy limbs,
D E G D
in conversations she looks for cracks to dig her roots deep in.
D E G D
And her ways come up like daisies, she pushes her head to the sun.
D E
She says 'I am content here to grow,
G D
despite the steel frost that consumes everyone.'
+ Chorus
D E
3. In the end these steel cages will consume us,
G D
and like coffins ignorance will take us in and
D E G D
fashion don't mean anything , 'cause fashion cannot be our friends.
D E G D
And when all else fades away, and the city falls into its sleep,
D E G
we'll still have flesh, blood, bones and our soul to deal with,
D
so we should dig our roots deep.
D G - D G
Always known, that there was something more.
D G
There's this hunger in her belly like an instinct,
D G
it tells her that there's something more.
A G
This living shouldn't be called living,
D
'cause it's really only half a life.
A G
She's a flower that grows despite cement holes -

and we will survive, we will survive.
A D - A - G - D
And we will survive,
