(C)Feel like a tulip, (F)alone in the garden?

(G)The next day a petal will (F)fall like a feather.

(G)Stem & the petals, still (C)trying to give
(C)Memories are vivid(Fm)(G7)… much more to (C)live

Instrumental…. C F G Am F C G F

(C)Energy’s changing, (F)dynamic it once was
(G)Where did it go? Who could (Am)possibly know?
I (F)know it’s still there, even (C)just in my head
The (G)petals of friendship in (F)my garden bed.

CHORUS:
Can I (C)chose to be strong, (F)remember the positive
(G)Stem & the petals, still (C)trying to give
Your (C)memory so vivid(Fm)(G7)… much more to (C)live

(C)Alone I will stand, but I’ll (F)never be lonely
I’ve (G)got cherished friends, with (Am)me to the end.
(F)Damage perceived, I will (C)not let it win
My (G)rock wall of friends will (F)not let it in.
