[Verse 1]
I was looking [A]at the leaves
[Am]clim[Em]bing to the tops of the trees but[Am] you w[Em]ere nowhere to be found.
Just beneath [Am]all the green [G]you were [Em]bur ied [G]like a little
[Em]seed [Am]among[G] t[Am]he roots a[G]nd undergr[Em]ound.
I was licking at [Am]the leaves, [D]but[Em] I was in short sleeves and you[G],
you were like some sickness that I [Em]caught.
My sweetheart [Am]moved away,
[Bm]swep[G]t off [Em]like garbage in the ally [Am]way - I n[G]eed more grace th[Em]an I though.

[Verse 2]
[D]Brother, [Em]I'm far a[D]way from
[Em]everything [Am]good![D][Em][D]
[Em]She's like a hot cloth on my [A]fevered head [G]and like a needle she [Em]leads
me away [Am]from everything good (Well, I follow like a [Em]thread)
Tie me up! Untie me! All this wishing [A]I was dead is
[G]getting [Bm]old... [Em]it goes on [A]but it's [Am]old.
[Em]

[Verse 3]
I was swimming [G]through the waves [Em]for must have been
[A]days [Bm]but I could find no rel[Em]ief.
When I started sink[Am]ing down I [Em]thought for certain I would drown un
[D]til I [G]saw you in [Em]the ocean underneath all the bright colored [Am]fish
Tell [Em]of a tr[G]easure i[Em]n a dull shell.
[G]"Such subtlety,
so eas[Em]ily missed!"
You, my hidden pearl of [Bm]pure and [Em]perfect love and I'm
living example [Am]of 10[Em]0% the opposite of this.
If I ask the [G]same [Am]ques[D]tions [Em]well [G]may[D]
be I repeat myself [Em]from time to time.
[G]But [D]it's because [Em]everyone[G]
[D]who answers me is a liar.[Em]
She's like a hot cloth on a [Am]fevered head
and like a [G]needle she [Em]leads me
[A](Well, I follow like a [Em]thread)
But you untie me - didn't
[A]you untie me, lord?
And [G]now I haven't even thought about [A]killing myself in almost five [Am]months.
