C F  Am G  F

Verse 1
                 C
You stood by the doorway
               F
In an overused T-shirt
          Am                  G                  F
Asking me questions about my day to forget about yours
                   C
Now I see you less often
                        F
And we don't speak much either
         Am                     G                  F
Fifteen years spent in the same place but I wanted more

Bm7 E7


Chorus
Am            C      Cm7       F             C          G
Buried in the fields under the marigolds (La flor de la vida)
Am                 C      Cm7         F      C      G
Lie our footprints marked beneath the dirt (Guarda recuerdos)
Am                       C      Cm7
We'd pick fruit from the lemon trees
F                        C               G
Or cut off the branches, set fire to the earth
Am               C      Cm7         Fm7
If you would've told me it'd be the last time
                       C      C
I'd have carried, it's worth

Verse 2
             C
You drew the line
                    F
On your side of the bedroom
                  Am                   G                  F
Told me with your eyes, "The darker it gets, the more I'd cross"
                   C
Now I stare at the ceiling
               F
In a brand-new apartment
           Am                           G                     F
Tryna remember where the sheets painted green in some type of scarlet

Bm7 E7


Chorus
Am            C      Cm7       F             C          G
Buried in the fields under the marigolds (La flor de la vida)
Am                 C      Cm7         F      C      G
Lie our footprints marked beneath the dirt (Guarda recuerdos)
Am                       C      Cm7
We'd pick fruit from the lemon trees
F                        C               G
Or cut off the branches, set fire to the earth
Am               C      Cm7         Fm7
If you would've told me it'd be the last time
                       Am
I'd have carried, it's worth

Bridge
Am             C                     Fm7
That sooner or later, the colors are fading
                    C        G              Am
I hate that they're slipping away with each night
        C                                   Fm7
Telling dad's jokes but the punchline keeps changing
                  C                G             Am
I'm scared of the day that they're gone from all minds

Chorus
Am            C      Cm7       F             C          G
Buried in the fields under the marigolds (La flor de la vida)
Am                 C      Cm7         F      C      G
Lie our footprints marked beneath the dirt (Guarda recuerdos)
Am                       C      Cm7
We'd pick fruit from the lemon trees
F                        C               G
Or cut off the branches, set fire to the earth
Am               C                  Fm7
If you would've told me it'd be the last time
                       C
I'd have carried, it's worth
