Inside A Flower

C                    F                   Am                          F    G   A
Hold back the time... just let it hang... stop the seconds, minutes, hours
       F          G                 Am          Gsus4  G
And if I give you love... will you let me keep myself?


C        F        Am          F         G


Am           G              F            F     Bb                F                G                C
I'm sitting out here on the very edge of earth looking through a book from long before the world began
Am          G             F             F    Bb     F               G                C
The man who gave it to me didn't have a name as overhead the sun is running down the day

F                   G        Am               G
The book begins its story it tells of war and hate and tells of power
    F           G       Dm           F       F                G
The promises of freedom and of all religions love and ways of life and how to...


C                                F
Close your time inside a flower, stop the seconds, minutes, hours
Am                               F              G                C
Close your time inside a flower, live your life forget the power


Am         G                   F               F  Bb                 F               G               C
The people passing by and they stop to look at me they all think I'm crazy cause I'm laughing in the wind
Am       G             F           F         Bb               F               G           C
But I am free to be whatever I may choose to win this freedom I know that somebody had to lose

     F                    G        Am               G
I've learned of those who buy love read about those willing to sell it
F                    G        Dm               F           F               G
When we're born it's for love some of us would die just to get it what you gotta do is...


Chorus


Bb                            F                        Am                               G
We can give our love away and never lose ourselves but no one can be something that you own
    Bb                                  F                    C                           G
And if you think you've got the right to tell me what I am I got no trouble leaving you alone


C    C       Ab     Bb


C                                Ab                Bb
Close your time inside a flower, stop the seconds, minutes, hours
C                                Ab                Bb
Close your time inside a flower, live your life forget the power
