C 
with wild (F major) flowers and  (C major) I
G 
C 
Was as wild, even wilder  (G major) than they  (C major) 
Or at least I could run,
F 
they just  (F major) died in the sun
C 
F 
C 
 (C major) An (F major) d  I re (C major) fused to just
G 
C 
 (G major) wither in  (C major) the leaves
F 
Just a  (F major) wild mountain rose
C 
needing freedoms  (C major) to grow
F 
C 
So I  (F major) ran, fearing not where I'd  (C major) go
G 
C 
 (G major) When a  (C major) flower grows wild,
F 
C 
it can  (F major) always sur (C major) vive
G 
While flowers don't  (G major) care
C 
where they grow  (C major) 
And the flowers I knew
F 
C 
in the  (F major) fields where I grew  (C major) 
G 
F 
C 
Were content to be lost  (G major) in  (F major) the crowd  (C major) 
They were common and close,
F 
I had no  (F major) room to grow
C 
G 
F 
C 
 (C major) And I wanted so much  (G major) to  (F major) branch  (C major) out

my  (C major) home ground
F 
Took my dreams  (F major) and I

took to the  (C major) road  (G major) 
C 
When a  (C major) flower grows wild
F

F 
C 
G 
F 
C 
where they  (F major) grow  (C major)  (F major)  (C major)  (G major)  (F major)  (C major) 
I grew up fast and wild
F 
C 
and I never  (F major) felt  (C major) right
G 
F 
C 
In a garden so dif (G major) ferent from  (F major)  (C major) me
I just never belonged
F 
C 
I just longed  (F major) to be gone  (C major) 
G 
F 
C 
Though the garden one day  (G major) set  (F major) me free  (C major) 
F 
I hitched a ride  (F major) with the wind
C 
And since  (C major) he was my friend
F 
C 
I just let  (F major) him decide where we'd  (C major) go
G

No regret  (F major) for the path that I chose  (C major)  (G major) 
C 
When a  (C major) flower grows wild
F

It can always  (F major) sur (C major) vive
G 
While flowers don't  (G major) care where
