Lyrics

No Flower - Tango - Capo 3

Verse
Am (Cm) E (G)
Darkness encroaches where light fears to tread.
Am (Cm) E (G)
You’re so afraid of living that you might as well be dead.
Am (Cm) Bm (Dm) E (G)
But I am no canvas afraid to be stained.
Am (Cm) Bm (Dm) E (G) Am
I am no flower afraid of the rain - afraid of the rain.
So, pull in your shutters and lock all your doors.
That prison you live in is utterly yours.
But I will not cower alone in my room,
Counting the hours that pass me too soon - much too soon.
Chorus
Dm (Fm) Am (Cm)
You say I’d burst into flames just to frighten myself. Well, I guess.
Dm (Fm) F (A-flat) E (G)
Why can’t you see this is the one chance I’ll ever get?
So, I dress all in feathers and roam without aim,
Winning and losing ’til the end of this game.
Oh, let’s take the stakes up as high as they’ll go.
Isn’t there more? Wouldn’t you like to know - like to know?
Chorus
You say I’d burst into flames just to frighten myself. Well, you bet.
Why can’t you see this is the one chance we’ll ever get?
To dress all in feathers (continue repeat of last verse)
