Magnolia

	  		
Verse 

C 
I saw you at the railway station, 
                       F     Am 
But you didn?t notice though, 

I could see you waiting, 
                 F  C 
Packed up, ready to go, 

You were on the Southbound platform, 
                               F Am 
I was getting off a Northbound train, 
Am 
Looking at a phone for comfort, 
Am 
Some things never change, 
    G 
How long ago it was that we were sitting touching feet, 
          F 
Beneath a crossword cluttered table, heading somewhere. 

 
C     Am        G               F 
Listen, we were always meant to be magnolia, 
C     Am        G                F 
Listen, you and me were meant to be magnolia, 
C  Am       G             F        C     Am 
We wilt, we bloom, leaves fall too soon, 
        G            F 
We were always gonna be magnolia.

Verse 
C 
We said we?d never grow up, 
                      F Am 
But it happened anyway, 
Am 
And now I?m thinking, 
                           F C 
Is it really such an awful shame? 
C 
But I?m a discontented, 
                     F Am 
Dunno what I want to be, 
Am 
Are we ever meant to know that? 
Am 
Are we ever meant to see, 
     G 
Each other in these bodies growing older by the hour, 
           F 
I?d rather die than let you see me in my work clothes. 

 
C     Am        G               F 
Listen, we were always meant to be magnolia,

Listen, you and me were meant to be magnolia, 
C  Am       G             F        C     Am 
We wilt, we bloom, leaves fall too soon, 
        G            F         G 
We were always gonna be magnoliaaaaaaa 
              F 
That's all we are.
