(verse 1) 
C         Fm                   C        Fm 
I saw you dance alone down the waterline 
C        Fm                    Am          G       F 
You were searching for secrets lost in the setting sun 
C           Fm                      C         Fm 
I said just wait a while and you'll understand 
C       Fm                  Am    G       F 
How the wintry warlord gave poets another try 
Fm                    C                
To figure the reasons why, it takes a  
Dm          Em      F           G       Fm   C 
Laugh and a half to unveil your scarlet eyes 

(verse 2) 
She returned, was wearing that rose so well 
Broke down and cried because of the sun that had been up all day 
At the movies there would have been rain 
Oh, the bittersweet irony, rain replaced by tears 


         Fm             C               Eb             Bb 
Ain't it funny how some things, look so different from afar 
        Fm              C 
When it comes to me and you 
           Cm                Bb                 Cm                  Bb 
The mirror stole our perfect view, now there is nothing left we can do 
        Cm               Bb            Ab               Bb 
And the story is done at last, for the ghost of flowers past 

(Guitar Melody) x2 
C - Fm - C - Fm - Am - G - F 

(verse 3) 
I saw you shape the wings of a butterfly 
Until the colors fit like a puzzle already done 
But who am I to question the grand design? 
Another headstone written to fix every broken rhyme 
Carved in the hands of time, for the singer inside to remind us of your life 
 
In a place where nothing is real, let me tell you how I feel 
Didn't know which heart to mend 
So here's a drink to absent friends, for a love that never did end 
And the story is done at last, for the ghost of flowers past

(Break) x2 
Eb          Ab               Cm      Bb               Abm    
Memories of yesteryear, is a part of you we'll travel here, now 
Eb                     Ab              Eb        Abm     Cm       Abm 
The curtains call this day upon us, so ride this wave on wings of wondering 
Eb        Cm      Fm         Bb       Eb     Abm Eb 
Why those scarlet eyes still haunt me today

(verse 4) 
C                 Fm  
Back to the first day of summer 
C                     Fm 
The flowers that past greet the sunlight 
Am                 G                 F 
Again with a song, sung by angels of love 
C                Fm               
So who am I now? In the distance  
C                    Fm 
I hear broken words, calling me to the  
Am               G               
Rhythmless core, trapped forever 
F 
In love with the girl on the shore

Fmaj7                      Em7               Fmaj7            Em7  
In a place where nothing's real, I feel like telling you just why 
Fmaj7                  Em7                Dm7             G7  
We all drink to absent friends, and for a love that never dies 
Ain't it funny how the mirror makes sure perfect never lasts 
It all starts and ends right here with you, my ghost of flowers past 

(Verse 5) 
I saw you dance alone down the waterline 
You were searching for secrets lost in the setting sun 
I saw you shape the wings of a butterfly 
Now the riddle fits like a puzzle already done 
Though life had just begun 
Dm              Em            F            G      C    A 
I will meet you again on the shores where lovers run 
Dm              Em            F            G      C    A 
I will meet you again on the shores where lovers run 
Dm          Em    F   G      F   Fm               C    Fm C 
I will meet you again on the shores, where lovers run
