B
E
I just made something unex
B/F#
pected
G#m
something sharp,
B/F#
something
new…
E
It’s not symmetrical or
B/F#
perfect
but it’s beautiful
G#m
and it’s mine.
Em/G
What else can I
B
do?
(Bring it in, bring it in)
F#/C#
(Good talk, bring it in, bring it in)
What else can I
G#m/D#
do?
(Let’s walk, bring it in, bring it in
Free hugs,
F#
bring it in, bring it in)
B
I grow rows and
F#/C#
rows of roses,
G#m/D#
flor de mayo,
F#/C#
by the mile.
B
I make perfect,
F#/C#
practiced
poses.
G#m/D#
So much hides be
F#
hind my smile.
G
What could I do if I just
A
grew
what I was feelin’ in the

moment?
(Do you
Bmaj7
know where you’re going?)
G
What could I do if I just
A
knew
it didn’t need to be pe
F#
rfect?
It just needed to be?
B/F#
And they’d let me be?
E
A hurricane of jaca
B/F#
randas,
G#m
strangling figs (big),
B/F#
hanging vines. (this is fine)

Palma de cera fills the

air as I
G#m
climb
and

I push through,
Em/G
what
F#
else can I
A
do?
Can I deliver us a river of sun
B
dew?
Careful, it’s car
F#/A#
nivorous,
a little just won’t

do.
I wanna feel the shiver of something
F#/A#
new.
I’m so sick of pretty, I want something true,
don’t
G#m
you?
You just seem like your
D#m
life’s been a dream
since the
E
moment you opened your
B/F#
eyes.
(How far do these
Bmaj7
roots go
G#m
down?)
All I know are the
D#m
blossoms you grow
but it’s a
E
wesome to see how you
F#
rise
(How far can I rise?)
through the roof, to the skies,
let’s go!
