G C
I once knew a girl who had daisy for fingers
G C
grew lollipops straight from her hair.
Am D
She traveled by pony and never looked lonely,
Am D
my friend she'd insist without care.
G C
Called all her family, spoke mostly harmony,
G C
seemed to have it figured out.
Am D
Painted in rainbows in shades only she knows
Am D
around her ideas came to sprout.
C Cm G
And now that we are older, she still haunts me.
C Cm G
Through dark and warm she always wears a smile.
Em D G A
So for you, my friend, a song to say,
C Em F D G
"I'm still inspired by you."
G C
I asked her how one could be positive and hopeful
G C
when everything falls apart.
Am
"Life isn't fair," she said.
D
"Make it a fair," she said.
Am D
"Always be prepared," she said.
"To sing."
G
Love is invented,
C
and wars are prevented,
G C
and we can do anything.
Am
Chin up and be it,
D
for that's what I'll be
Am
when we're eighty years young
D
we'll be here, you'll see
C Cm G
And now that we are older, she still haunts me.
C Cm G
Through dark and warm she always wears a smile.
Em D G A
So for you, my friend, a song to say,
C Em F D G
"I'm still inspired by you."
C Em F D G
"I'm still inspired by you."
C
Somewhere in the world
F
she plants trials of jellybeans
Bb Cm
Some leave them be and some take.
Eb F
In her eyes she makes a mistake,
G
it's now a better place
C F
When love finally whisked her away from the rest,
Bb Cm
She wondered how we all continue to spin
Eb F
around and around 'til we lift off the ground,
G C
for what would she be without us?
C Cm G
And now that we are older, she still haunts me.
C Cm G
Through dark and warm she always wears a smile.
Em D G A
So for you, my friend, a song to say,
C Em F D G
"I'm still inspired by you."
C Em F D G
"I'm still inspired by you." (x3)
