Standard (EADGBE)

So much depends

 On first loves and friends

 Legs for a table

I, I painted my room

 With judgments and doom

 But I still ain't able

 To sleep, got to sleep

 And dream up some dreams I can keep

 Oh my, my marigold, marigold

I was walking at dawn

 When something turned on

 But I couldn't name it

 So I, I went back home

 I did it alone

 But I couldn't claim it

 I tried, yes I tried

 I tried honey I was denied

 Oh my, my marigold, marigold

 Well everything becomes much more meaningless

 As time passes by

 So I hide in the bedroom with strong curtains drawn

 So I can't look the world in the eye

I heard you were well

 I heard that you fell

 Back on your feet

 Well me, I'm still in fear

 I planted her here

 Right in the street

 To sleep, so she sleeps

 And dreams with the orphans and freaks

 Oh my, my marigold, marigold

 Now talk, talk it is cheap

 I talk in my sleep

 I know what to say

 I said, I said you were wise

 To let go of my eyes

 And push me away

 And run, yes you run

 You run honey nothing gets done

 Oh my, my marigold, marigold

 But all that I've learned it must be a chemical change

 After all I'm no different from the next twisted talker

 Who's taking his lies to the grave

I wasn't myself

 I was nobody else

 That I couldn't be

 Like you were nobody too

 To somebody who's exactly like me

 So sleep, let her sleep

 And dream up the dreams we can keep

 Oh my, my marigold, marigold
