            FLOWERS NEVER BEND WITH THE RAINFALL
Paul Simon 
Album : Songbook  1965  
[Verse 1]
G                       Bm7
Through the corridors of sleep
        C               G
Past the shadows dark and deep
Bm                      C           G    C  G
My mind dances and leaps in confusion.
G                       Bm
I dont know what is real,
        C               G
I can't touch what I feel
        Bm              C               G
And I hide behind the shield of my illusion.
[Chorus]
D       C               G               Em
So I'll continue to continue to pretend
Am7                 Em
My life will never end,
       A           C
And flowers never bend
            Gsus4  G
With the rainfall.
[Verse 2]
G               Bm7
The mirror on my wall
        C               G
Casts an image dark and small
Bm                C                 G         C  G
But Im not sure at all its my reflection.
G               Bm7
I am blinded by the light
 C                     G
Of God and truth and right
        Bm         C                    G         C  G
And I wander in the night without direction.
[Chorus]
D       C               G               Em
So I'll continue to continue to pretend
Am7                 Em
My life will never end,
       A           C
And flowers never bend
            Gsus4  G
With the rainfall.
[Verse 3]
     G                  Bm7
Its no matter if youre born
        C               G
To play the king or pawn
      Bm                C                       G         C  G
For the line is thinly drawn tween joy and sorrow,
G       Bm7
So my fantasy
 C          G
Becomes reality
        Bm              C               G         C  G
And I must be what I must be and face tomorrow.
[Chorus]
D       C               G               Em
So I'll continue to continue to pretend
Am7                 Em
My life will never end,
       A           C
And flowers never bend
            Gsus4  G
With the rainfall.
