I couldn't [Am] help it, yes, I let it get [C] in
The helpless [Dm] optimism of [E7] spring
[Am] Worn out and tired and my [C] heart never tired
And the world [Dm] bent double from [E7] weeping
And yet, the [Am] birds [C] begin to [Dm] sing
[E7] Ooh, ooh, [Am] oh
[Am] [C] [E]
[Am] Daffodil
[C] [E7] Daffodil
I'm not [Am] bad, I'm not good
I [C] drank every scar that I [E7] could
Made myself [Am] mythical, tried to be real
Saw the [C] future in the face of [E7] a
[Am] Daffodil
[C] [E7] Daffodil
[Am] Daffodil
[C] [E7] Daffodil
You practice [Am] resurrection every night
[C] Raising the dead under the [E7] moonlight
And in the gloaming, [Am] I start to cry
You're a [C] perfect pearl out in the [E7] sky
There is no [Am] bad, there is no [F] good
I [G] drank all the blood that I [E7] could
Made myself [Am] mythical, tried to be [F] real
Saw the [G] future in the face of [E7] a
[Am] Daffodil
[C] [E7] Daffodil
[Am] Daffodil
[C] [E7] Daffodil
English [Am] sun, she has come
To kiss my [C] face and tell me I'm that [E7] chosen one
A [Am] generation soaked in grief
We're drying [C] out and hanging on by the [E7] skin of our teeth
[Am] I never thought it would get this far
This [C] somewhat drunken [E7] joke
[Am] Sometimes I see so much beauty
I don't [C] think that I can [E7] cope
There is no [Am] bad, there is no [F] good
I [G] drank every scar that I [E7] could
Made myself [Am] mythical, tried to be [F] real
Saw the [G] future in the face of [E7] a
[Am] Daffodil
[Am] Daffodil
[Am] Daffodil
[Am] Daffodil
