[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C][G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
I should [G]see
you walk in [C]from [G]our [C]garden[G]
The sun a soporific [C]on your
shoulder [G]blades[Bm]
And [G]you should kick your
shoes off at the door
And [C]mark me with the pol[D]len
on [G]your fingertips

[Verse 2]
[G]
Instead December brought
[C]the pour[G]ing [C]rain[G]
The whimsy of [C]the season[G]
[C]Dampened [G]by the day
[Bm]And sometimes changes
[G]is [C]incremental
To the point [G]we can
convince ourselves
We're [D]still the same
[G]

[Verse 3]
[C]But as [G]the street lights
flicker [D]on[G][D][C]
[G]Under skin and bone
We're [D]all awash
With something bor[C]rowed
And [G]everything I want
Is at rest [D]between these walls
[G]

[Verse 4]
[D]Som[C]eday we'll all[G] be
[Bb]Stories [F]that get told
But [C]told in[G]correctly
But [Bb]our trail [F]won't grow cold
[C]Our trail [G]won't grow
[Bb]Our trail [F]won't grow c[G]old, c[C]old

[Verse 5]
[G]So [Am]now w[C]e [G]watch
[C]you walking in our [G]garden
And what a many splend[C]oured sight
you are [G]to see[Bm]
And there'll be dancing, [G]there'll [C]be scars
But you're my garden
[D]You're my garden
You were grown from me
[C][D]

[Verse 6]
[G]So when you leap
You must [C]leap [G]longingly
And leap across
The length [C]and breadth
Of leg[G]acy
[Bm]For in this garden
We [C]will write for you
A story you will [D]learn by heart
Then long to leave
[G][D]

[Verse 7]
[C]
And [G]as the street lights flicker [D]on[C]
[G]Under skin and bone
[D]We're all awash
With something borrowed
[C]And eve[G]rything I want
Is [D]at rest between these walls

[Verse 8]
[C]Someday we'll [G]all be
[Bb]Stories [F]that get told
But [C]told [G]incorrectly
But [Bb]our trail [F]won't grow cold
[C]Our trail [G]won't grow
[Bb]Our trail [F]won't grow c[C]old, c[D]old
