NOTHING BUT FLOWERS - Talking Heads

Intro: |C  G  F|

[C]Here we stand 

[Em]like an Adam and an Eve

[Dm]Waterfalls, 

[G7]the Garden of Eden

Two fools in love

so beautiful and strong

The birds in the trees 

are smiling upon them

[B]From the age of the [Em]dinosaurs

cars have run on gasoline

[C]Where, [Em]where have they gone?

[C]Now, it's [G]nothing but [F]flowers

[C]There was a factory,

[G]now there are [F]mountains and [C]rivers

[G]You got it, [F]you got i

We caught a rattlesnake,

now we've got something for dinner

You got it, you got it

[D]There was a shopping mall,

[A]now it's all [G]covered with [D]flowers

[A]You got it, [G]you got it

If this is paradise,

I wish I had a lawnmower

You got it, you got it

[intro]

Years ago

I was an angry young man

I'd pretend

that I was a billboard

Standing tall

by the side of the road

I fell in love

with a beautiful highway

This used to be real estate,

now it's only fields and trees

Where, where is the town?

Now, it's nothing but flowers

[Dm]The highways and [A]cars

were sacrificed for agriculture

[Fm]I thought that we'd start [C]all over,

[Fm]but I guess I was [G]wrong

Once there were parking lots,

now it's a peaceful oasis

You got it, you got it

This was a Pizza Hut, 

now it's all covered with daisies

You got it, you got it

I miss the Honky Tonks, 

Dairy Queens and 7-Elevens

You got it, you got it

And as things fell apart, 

nobody payed much attention

You got it, you got it

[intro]

I dream of cherry pies, 

candy bars and chocolate chip cookies

You got it, you got it

We used to microwave, 

now we just eat nuts and berries

You got it, you got it

This was a discount store, 

now it's turned into a cornfield

You got it, you got it

Don't leave me stranded here, 

I can't get used to this lifestyle
