C/G                              F 
An old love of mine to wed the worst man she finds.  
                       C/G 
A blossom that’s bloomed, in a house that’s a tomb, 
                F 
trapped in the rhododendron fumes.  

  
Am                  G 
Bit by the Spring, Hurt by the thing,  
G                     F               G 
Plagued by the memories that it brings.

The broke can still break, oh, what time can take,

somewhere in the rules lies the stakes.
