Flowers From 1970 - Moonlight

[Verse 1]
C
One Day A Man From 1970 Gave Me A Call
Am
He Had Dirty Blonde Hair
Am
And Compared To Me He’s Pretty Tall
F
He Had Lime Green Eyes
F
And Bigger Hands I Wish That I Could Hold
G
And We’d Spend 8 In The Evening
G
Talking On The Telephone

C
He’s So Full Of Himself And
C
Likes Making Sadistic Jokes.
Am
But There’s Something That I’m So In love
Am
With In The Way He Spoke
F
And The Way He Draws,
F
The Way He Sings Along To His Guitar
G G
If Only The Distance Between Us Wasn’t So
That Goddamn Far

[Chorus]
C
When I’m Talking To Him That’s The
Happiest I’ll Ever Be
Am
And He Makes Me Feel So Special, I Love It
Whenever He
F
Compliments Me, Tries To Hide The Fact
That He’s Obsessed With Me
G
Went Through Trouble, Sending Me Flowers
From 1970
[Verse 2]
C
As I'm falling for him more and more,
C
The more it'll hurt the day he leaves
Am Am
And when I hear his voice it's like it's
straight out of a dream
F F
I would do things for him that completely
messes my routine
G G
so even just for a minute it'd feel like
he's right next to me

C C
I would take time out of busy days so I
could hear his laugh
Am Am
listen to his favorite songs while staring
at his photograph
F F
I needed him, I wanted him, right person
but wrong time
G G
and on September 9, the telephone cord cut
the line

C C
but you said it yourself, flowers from
1970
Am Am
couldn't last that long and you were my
flower
F F
and for one last time I said "goodbye old
man"
G G
you said "you take care of those flowers,
wrong number."

[Chorus]
C
When I’m Talking To Him That’s The
Happiest I’ll Ever Be
Am
And He Makes Me Feel So Special, I Love It
Whenever He
F
Compliments Me, Tries To Hide The Fact
That He’s Obsessed With Me
G
Went Through Trouble, Sending Me Flowers
From 1970

[Interlude]
C Am F G

[Chorus]
C
When I’m Talking To Him That’s The
Happiest I’ll Ever Be
Am
and he made me feel so special but it
broke me when he
F
asked for closure, proof that in 1970, a
man
G
who didn't even exist yet had loved me.

[Verse 3]
C C
you said you just can't have your heart in
2020 with me
Am Am
when your heart belongs there in 1970
F F
maybe in another life we'd do the things
we couldn't do
G G
so I'd hold you in my arms and tell you
how much I love you.

C
One Day A Man From 1970 Gave Me A Call.
Am Em
Now My Only Memories Of Him Are Handprints
On The Wall.
F
And That Faded Green Paint 3 Familiar
Words Were Written Under
G
Once Upon A Time, Same Room, Same House,
50 Years Apart.
We Had Loved Each Other
