Nothing But Flowers

Guster

 GBm
 Here we stand like an Adam and an Eve
 AmD
 A waterfall, the garden of Eden.
 GBm
 Two fools in love, so beautiful and strong,
 AmD
 The birds in the trees are smiling upon them.

 F#F#sus4
 From the age of the dinosaurs    
 F#F#sus4
Cars have run on gasoline,          
 GBm
 Where, where have they gone?
 AmD
 Now, it's nothing but flowers.

Chorus:
 G
 There was a factory,
 DCG
 Now there are mountains and rivers!             
 DC
 (You got it, you got it)
 G
 We caught a rattlesnake,
 DCG
 Now we've got something for dinner            
 DC
 (You got it, you got it)

 A
 This was a shopping mall,
 EDA
 Now it's all covered with flowers     

 ED
 (You got it, you got it)
 A
 If this is paradise,
 EDA
 I wish I had a lawn mower!    
 ED
 (You got it, you got it)

Interlude:
G - G - D - C (repeat)

 GBm
 Years ago I was an angry young man,
 AmD
 I'd pretend that I was a billboard:
 GBm
 Standing tall by the side of the road,
 AmD
 I fell in love with a beautiful highway.

 F#F#sus4
 This used to be real estate,
 F#F#sus4
Now it's only fields and trees.
 GBm
 Where, where is the town?
 AmD
 Now, it's nothing but flowers.

 AmE
 The highways and cars         
 AmE
 Were sacrificed for agriculture.
 CmG
 I thought that we'd start over        
 CD
But I guess I was wrong.    

Chorus:
 G
 Once there were parking lots
 DCG
 Now it's a peaceful oasis        

 DC
 (You got it, you got it)
 G
 This was a Pizza Hut
 DCG
 Now it's covered with daisies     
 DC
 (You got it, you got it)

 A
 I miss the honky tonks,
 EDA
 Dairy Queens, and 7-Elevens.       
 ED
 (You got it, you got it)

 A
 And as things fell apart,
 EDA
 Nobody paid much attention.
 ED
 (You got it, you got it)

Interlude:
 A-
 - A - E - D (repeat)

 A
 I dream of cherry pies,
 EDA
 Candy bars and chocolate chip cookies            
 ED
 (You got it, you got it)
 A
 We used to microwave
 EDA
 Now we just eat nuts and berries         
 ED
 (You got it, you got it)

 A
 This was a discount store
 EDA
 Now it's turned into a cornfield  
 ED
 (You got it, you got it)
 A
 Don't leave me stranded here,
 EDA
 I can't get used to this lifestyle.
