[C#] [G#m] I [E] just came to smell the flowers, [A] here in someone's [E] darkest hour.
I don't even know the one they've [B] laid to eat.
[F#m] But any [E] place there's a crowd, and [A] anywhere they're [E] crying loud.
Just seems to be [B] the place I [E] love the best.
[F#m] [G#m] [A] Surrounded by the blues, [E] in a place that losers [C#m] use.
[G#m] [E] Where one smile costs at least a [B] million tears.
[D#] [E] Looking for my past, [G#m] [A] in the bottom [E] of a glass.
The only [B] place I've looked for [E] many years.
Now the ground don't seem [A] so very low, [E] when you're down about as far as you can go.
And it's pretty hard to [B] smile, while the whole world laughs in your face.
[E] And with no will left to live, [A] the world moves fast while [E] you lie still.
Too weak to stand, just [B] not enough man [E] to join the race.
[C#m] [D#] So [E] I just came to smell the flowers, [A] here in someone's [E] darkest hour.

But any [E] place there's a crowd, and [A] anywhere they're [E] crying loud.
Just seems to be [B] the place I [E] love the best.
