[Verse 1]
C F C G G
There's a big bowl of flowers over my head
F C G G
Why it is there has never been said
F C G Am Am
It might give us light and it might be for gains
C F G C C C C
And it might be something that is yet to be given a name
C F C G G
There's a dark cloud beneath us, they call it Baltic Sea
F C G G
And why it's gotten like this is like greek to me
F C G G/G# Am Am
echis panemor famathia eno*
C F G C C C C
Your eyes are the most beautiful as far as this world goes
C F C G G
And if they were to tell me that this day'd be my last
F C G G
At first I might get angry, but I'd settle fairly fast
F C G G/G# Am Am
And go to you my darling to spend that day with you
C F G C C
Hoping that the words they said to me were all but true

[Verse 2]
C F C G G
The stars may stay above us and oceans stay below
F C G G
I swear that in your eyes I can catch glimpses of them both
F C G G/G# Am Am
As deep as the pacific and sparkly all day long
C F G C C C C
May stars and oceans stay with me wherever I may roam
[Chorus]
C F C G G
And this big bowl of flowers now make sense to me
F C G G
What you made is a symbol of what this world could be
F C G G/G# Am Am
If we all just took a break from everything we think we know
C F G C
We'll see flowers upon flowers and perhaps we too will grow
C F G C
We'll see flowers upon flowers and perhaps we too will grow
[Outro]

*The Greek lyrics are totally made up just to have something to set the chords to.
Apologies to Greece.
