B C# G#m
Saw him on a Friday outside some run down saloon
B C# G#m
he was cryin over someone that he felt left much too soon
B C#
I said, hey boy don't you cry tonight
G#m
let me take you out on this town
B C# G#m
he looked at me and smiled as one last tear splashed off the ground
B C# G#m
with half a wink he asked me what are you some kind of freak
B C# G#m
I told him no, I guess I just feel your vibe is kinda deep
B C#
the moon hung over soho
G#m
and I counted 16 stars
B C# G#m
I pointed at the brightest one and said now that one's ours
B C# G#m
he's a dandelion, up on his hill above the sea
B C# G#m
he's not exactly everything I thought that he might be
B C#
he's a dandelion
G#m
he looks like everything I need
B C#
I thought he was a flower
G#m
but I found out he's a weed
B C# G#m B
Then I hold on hold on hold on
C# G#m
hold on hold on hold on
he might just be poison
but I took him to my roof top
I said are you afraid of heights,
He said no I am not
I said hey boy don't you lie to me, tell me everything you feel
we danced around in circles,
He said I think we found something real
he's a dandelion, up on his cliff above the sea
he's not exactly everything I thought that he might be
he's a dandelion
he looks like everything I need
I thought he was a flower
but I found out he's a weed
Then I hold on hold on hold on
hold on hold on hold on
Down in union square
I saw him walking all alone
I walked a little slower just so I'd remain unknown
he met someone on seventeenth that he knew her all too well
my little piece of heaven has a secret he won't tell
with half a smile he took her hand
and then they walked away
I realized I would not see my boy after today
I fell in love with a dandelion
and he's all I ever had
