With my Glover standing at my feet
The Fbranches F6mean so Fmaj7much to F6me
But the Emleaves taste  Foh Gbmso  Gsweet

Can Froot me F6down or Fmaj7set me F6free
But I’m Emnot what  FyoGbmu should Gbe
[Verse 1]
  GbmCan’t remember last I saw you
DbWalk through that door
  ACan’t remember how we got
This Fmblood on the floor, Oh baby
  GbmThinking I would let you try and
DbSettle the score, but it might
Ahurt me now
                    F7  F7*  F7  
I didn’t feel before
  GbmThink I lost my mind and spirits
DbHead full of stone
  AI swear I got home late last night
And Fmyou weren’t alone, Oh baby,
  GbmThinking all the lies I used
To Dbbuild myself on
It’s nights like Athese that tear
                          F7  F7*  F7  
The stitches that I’d sewn

I Ghave become what you Fmmade of Emme
Can Froot me F6down or Fmaj7set me F6free
But I’m Emnot what  FyoGbmu should Gbe
[Verse 2]
  GbmSpent my nights so bored and restless
DbNo reason why
  ASeems I let my youth untie
You Fmleft her out dry, Oh darling,
  GbmMaybe you can hold me down
While DbI can’t scream and cry
But now that Afreedom that I stole into
        F7  F7*  F7  
Goodbye
  GbmWhile my eyes start rolling back
My Dbhead hits the floor
  EKnow that I can’t try to see
Your Fmface anymore, Oh darling,
  GbmThinking if the clock turned back, please,
DbI’d be at your door
But now it’s Edone, my lesson learned

So ends the war
[Chorus]
AmRun around the living tree
With my Glover standing at my feet
The Fbranches F6mean so Fmaj7much to F6me

AmRun around the living tree
I Ghave become what you made of me
Can Froot me F6down or Fmaj7set me F6free
