Version 1FLOWERS NEVER BEND WITH THE RAINFALL Paul Simon Album : Songbook 1965 [Verse 1] G Bm7 Through the corridors of sleep C G Past the shadows dark and deep Bm C G C G My mind dances and leaps in confusion. G Bm I dont know what is real, C G I can't touch what I feel Bm C G And I hide behind the shield of my illusion. [Chorus] D C G Em So I'll continue to continue to pretend Am7 Em My life will never end, A C And flowers never bend Gsus4 G With the rainfall. [Verse 2] G Bm7 The mirror on my wall C G Casts an image dark and small Bm C G C G But Im not sure at all its my reflection. G Bm7 I am blinded by the light C G Of God and truth and right Bm C G C G And I wander in the night without direction. [Chorus] D C G Em So I'll continue to continue to pretend Am7 Em My life will never end, A C And flowers never bend Gsus4 G With the rainfall. [Verse 3] G Bm7 Its no matter if youre born C G To play the king or pawn Bm C G C G For the line is thinly drawn tween joy and sorrow, G Bm7 So my fantasy C G Becomes reality Bm C G C G And I must be what I must be and face tomorrow. [Chorus] D C G Em So I'll continue to continue to pretend Am7 Em My life will never end, A C And flowers never bend Gsus4 G With the rainfall.
