Am                        C
I couldn't help it, yes, I let it get in
             Dm             E7
The helpless optimism of spring
 Am                        C
Worn out and tired and my heart never tired
             Dm                 E7
And the world bent double from weeping
              Am      C      Dm
And yet, the birds begin to sing
E7        Am
Ooh, ooh, oh


[Instrumental]
| Am  | C   E7  |


[Chorus]
         Am
Daffodil
         C    E7
Daffodil


[Verse 2]
         Am
I'm not bad, I'm not good
    C                      E7
I drank every scar that I could
             Am
Made myself mythical, tried to be real
           C                    E7
Saw the future in the face of a


[Chorus]
         Am
Daffodil
         C    E7
Daffodil
         Am
Daffodil
         C    E7
Daffodil


[Verse 3]
                   Am
You practice resurrection every night
 C                          E7
Raising the dead under the moonlight
                     Am
And in the gloaming, I start to cry
          C                         E7
You're a perfect pearl out in the sky


[Pre-Chorus]
             Am               F
There is no bad, there is no good
    G                         E7
I drank all the blood that I could
                  Am               F
Made myself mythical, tried to be real
           G                    E7
Saw the future in the face of a


[Chorus]
         Am
Daffodil
         C    E7
Daffodil
         Am
Daffodil
         C    E7
Daffodil


[Verse 4]
         Am
English sun, she has come
            C                       E7
To kiss my face and tell me I'm that chosen one
       Am
A generation soaked in grief
             C                           E7
We're drying out and hanging on by the skin of our teeth
Am
 I never thought it would get this far
      C                E7
This somewhat drunken joke
Am
 Sometimes I see so much beauty
          C               E7
I don't think that I can cope


[Pre-Chorus]
             Am               F
There is no bad, there is no good
    G                         E7
I drank every scar that I could
                  Am               F
Made myself mythical, tried to be real
           G                    E7
Saw the future in the face of a


[Chorus]
         Am
Daffodil
         Am
Daffodil
         Am
Daffodil
         Am
