Carnation Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Am If you gave me a frCesh carnation

G I would only crush it's teA♯nder petals

Am With me you'll have Cno escape

G And at the same time there'll be nowA♯here to settle -

Gm I trample down all life in my wD♯6ake

  I eat it Dup and take the cBmake

  I just avEert my eyes to the pAmain

  Of someone's lDoss helping my gAmain

If you gave me a dream for my pocket

You'd be plugging in the wrong socket

With me there's no room for the future

With me there's no room with a view at all -

Gm I am out of season all year 'roD♯und

  Hear machinery roDar to my empty sBmound

  Touch my heEart and feel wiAmnter

  Hold my hDand and be doomed foCmrever -

Piano solo

Am C G A♯

If you gave me a fresh carnation

I would only crush it's tender petals

With me you'll have now escape

And at the same time there'll be nowhere to settle.

Gm And if you're wondering by now who ID♯6 am

  Look no fuDrther than the miBmrror -

  Because I aEm the Greed and FAmear

  And every ouDnce of Hate in Cmyou.
