Intro 1

Verse 1
Am 
Orson tells a story so well
F 
Am 
And despite the lack of snow in Texas,
F 
C 
I  see myself sledding.
Am 
F 
And every time I watch it again,
Am 
I see parts of life
F 
C 
that I've always been dreading.
Bb 
The sweetest moments
F 
Fm 
fading like snapshots
Gsus4 
C 
D 
in old      trunks  of faces.
Fm 
G 
that no one living quite
Gsus4 
G 
remembers.
Am 
F 
Crushed between the pages,
Am 
F 
a well -read book of poetry,
C 
a rosebud.
Am 
F 
Some believe that time is no friend.
Am 
F 
Oth ers insist that they've learned
C 
how to bend it their way.
Bb 
F 
I see a mansion with hallways
Fm 
and big rooms with
C 
D 
footsteps and memories,
Fm 
Gsus4 
G 
but only one that really   lingers.
Am 
Safe within the pages
F 
Am 
F 
of my favorite book of poetry,
C 
Bb 
Am 
Dm 
Am 
F 
A Rosebud.
C 
Bb 
Am 
Maybe  I lost my sled later
than Cain did,
G 
C 
but it's gone all right, just the same.
Am 
So I do what I do every day,
F 
Am 
and I do what I do
F 
C 
cause I found a way to do it.
Bb 
F 
Oh but when night falls, and clocks stop,
Fm 
and dreams come,
Gsus4 
I'm back     there.
C 
D 
Fm 
And sometimes, when I least expect it,
G 
His arms hold me.
Am 
And over all the pages
F 
Am 
F 
of all my books of poetry,
C 
Rosebud
