C G

[Verse 1]

C                  G   D  C
time and the arrow beckon me
C             G     D
hiding in the pages listening
C                        G      D      C       C
and the stories all grow tired, tired, tired

C                    G   D  C
so we photograph the way we felt
C                           G  D   C
and we cling when it starts fading
C                           G   D     C     D
though we know that we hold everything


[Chorus]
D                 C      G
you and the roses dance around
D                   C   G
we’re in the garden smiling
D                        C         G
i didn’t notice how much love i’ve known
  Cadd9 G/B Asus4   Cadd9  G/B Asus4 G   C
the setting sun will pause for no one

[Verse 2]
C               G  D  C
future memories often lie
C                 G        D       C
inside of all the hope, inside the light
C                  G        D       C     D
so we follow every star and pray in time

[Chorus]
D                 C      G
you and the roses dance around
D                   C    G
we’re in the garden laughing
D                        C       G
i didn’t notice how much you had grown
  Cadd9 G/B Asus4   Cadd9  G/B Asus4 G   C   D
the setting sun will pause for no one

[Bridge]
D  C G
hmmm     3X
Cadd9 G/B Asus4   Cadd9  G/B Asus4 G   C
hmmm

[Verse 3]
C                     G       D        C
we watch the leaves unfolding quietly
C                 G       D      C
no tugging at the time or way of things
C                      G          D     C     D
and we mirror both the growth and withering

[Chorus]
D                 C      G
you and the roses dance around
D                  C  G
he’s in the garden crying
D                        C     G
i didn’t notice yet that i had gone
   Cadd9 G/B Asus4   Cadd9  G/B Asus4 G
the setting sun will pause for no one
