[Verse 1]
Gm/C            Ab/C                                Ab/C     (Gm/F Ab) x2
The flowers you gave me are rotting and still I refuse to throw them away.
Gm/C                            Ab/C
Some of the bulbs never opened quite fully.
          Gm/C                          Ab/C          Ab     Gm/F  Ab
They might so I'm waiting and staying awake.

[Chorus]
Bbm         Db/Ab           Eb7/G     Ab   Gm   Fm   Cm
   Things I have loved I'm allowed to keep.
Bbm       Db/Ab        Eb7/G  Ab   Gm   Fm   Cm
   I'll never know if I go to sleep.

[Verse 2] (Like first verse)
The papers around me are piling and twisting
Regina the paper back mummy what then.
I'm taking the knife to the books that I own
and chopping and chopping and boiling soup stone.

[Chorus]
Bbm         Db/Ab           Eb7/G     Ab   Gm   Fm   Cm
   Things I have loved I'm allowed to keep.
Bbm       Db/Ab        Eb7/G  Ab   Gm   Fm   Cm
   I'll never know if I go to sleep.
Bbm         Db/Ab           Eb7/G     Ab   Gm   Fm   Cm
   Things I have loved I'm allowed to keep.
Bbm       Db/Ab        Eb7/G  Ab   Gm   Fm   Cm
   I'll never know if I go to sleep.
