Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 The one who survives by making the lives

 Of others worthwhile

 She's coming apart

 Tight before my eyes

 The one who depends on the services she renders

 To those who come knocking

 She's seeing too clearly what she can't be

 What understanding defies

Chorus

 She says I need not to need

 Or else a love with intution

 Someone who reaches out to my weakness

 And won't let go

 I need not to need

 I've always been the tower

 But now I feel like the flower

 trying to bloom in the snow

(use verse chords)

She turns up the light

Anticipating night falling tenderly around her

Watches the dusk

The words won't come

She carries the act so convincingly

The fact is sometimes she believes it

She can be happy with the way things are

Be happy with the things she's done

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

Reach out, hold back Where is safety

Reach out and hold back

 Where is the one who can change me

 Where is the one

 The one

 Ad-lib: ----

(Repeat Bridge)

(Repeat Chorus)

Coda

 I feel like I'm the flower

 trying to bloom in the snow

 The danger and the power

 Friend and the foe
