Intro: GC9GA crooked chimney standing in the middle of a field
C9
Once surrounded by the walls of work
By laughter and by love
G
The sound of children playing
And the sound of people saying
C9G
I love you--yeah you
GA crooked tree stands naked near the center of the field
C9
Barely rooted in the browns and greys
Of earth that once was green
GA place long since forgotten
In a world of yesterday
C9G
Except by me--yeah me
(Pre-Chorus)
DC9 (mute) G
And Oh--whose plan was this anyway
DC9G
And I never thought He would want it to be that way
(Chorus)
C9G
It once was beautiful--Right Here
C9G
It still is beautiful--In Here
C9G
You once were beautiful--I hear
D
I hear it can be beautiful
C9
Just remember
GA twisted little image in your perfect little world
C9
Of the chapter where it'd all begun
About a song already sung
G
Burnt around the edges
Nearly faded--nearly gone
C9G
Even you--yeah you
GA shiny building standing in the center of today
C9
Where indifferent people go to work
Go about their pay
G
Knowing they've forgotten
In a most convenient way
C9G
Yesterday--away
(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus)
(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus-Chorus)
