Intro: EmDGC
Verse:
EmD
5:36 a.m., I was ʼbout to start my day
GC
But she lay in there across me, so I stayed anyway
EmD
Arms tied, legs numb, and wrapped around my knees
GC
Sweetest of the sunflowers, yeah, youʼre the sun to me
EmDGCEmD
I donʼt recall what you were wearing on the first night we met
GC
Besides the subtle clouds around you from my last cigarette
EmD
And you come from a good place with a happy family
GC
Only bad you ever done was to see the good in me
Chorus:
CGDEm
But Iʼve been livinʼ, waitinʼ on the day
CGDEm
That the good Lord willinʼ, send you out my way
CGDEm
Iʼve seen hard times, bad luck, and all thatʼs in-between
CGDEm
Sweetеst of the sunflowers, yeah, youʼrе the sun to me
Verse:
EmD
And I remember being younger, and my mother told me truth
GC
Find someone who grows flowers in the darkest parts of you
EmD
Take heed when things get hard and donʼt you ever turn around
G
Youʼll find someone, someday, somewhere
C
Thatʼll grow you to the clouds, oh
EmDGCEmD
And you walked me home that evening when I could barely walk
GC
And you spoke to me so sweetly on the days I couldnʼt talk
EmD
And now Iʼm seeing clearly and Iʼm growing up so free
GC
Sweetest of the sunflowers, yeah, youʼre the sun to me
Chorus:
CGDEm
But Iʼve been livinʼ, waitinʼ on the day
CGDEm
That the good Lord willinʼ, send you out my way
CGDEm
Iʼve seen hard times, bad luck, and all thatʼs in-between
CGDEm
Sweetеst of the sunflowers, yeah, youʼrе the sun to me
CGDEm
Sweetest of the sunflowers, yeah, youʼre the sun to me
