Flowers never bend with the rainfall
paul simon

         G            Bm7           Cmaj7            G
Through corridors of sleep past the shadows dark and deep
   Bm              Cmaj7        G  C
my mind dances and leaps in confusion
G                    Bm7          Cmaj7        G
I don't know what is real I can't touch what I feel
      Bm              Cmaj7          G    C
And I hide behind the shield of my illusion

CHORUS:
D           C           G           Em
So, I'll continue to continue to pretend
   C6              Em
my life will never end
    A             C
and flowers never bend
         G
with the rainfall

The mirror on my walls casts an image dark and small
But I'm not sure at all it's my reflection
I am blinded by the light of God and truth and right
And I wander in the night without direction

CHORUS:

No mater if you're born to play the king or pawn
For the line is thinly drawn 'tween joy and sorrow
So my fantasy becomes reality 
and I must be what I must be and face tomorrow

CHORUS:
(after a while ends on Cadd9)
