6  5     5     5    5       6      -6 5 5
Trees grow and the ground's alright,
 -4  -4 -4   4   -4  5  -4   4   -3"
Die old in the middle of the night.
  6  5   5    5     6   -6 5    5
Roots are my hands  to  reach,
 -4  -4     -4      -4     4   -4 5      -4     4    4
Cut me down where the water meets the sea.
6 5   5      5     5    6  -6 5  5
My eyes were the first   to find,
-4 -4 -4 -4   4   -4  5 -4   4    -3"
    29     in the middle of the night.
  6  5  5   5     6   -6 5    5
Words in my head   to  sleep,
   -4   -4  -4 -4 -4   4  -4 5   -4  4  4
Keep me up  until the body disagrees (x5)
(Chorus)
 6 5      5     5    6    -6  -4     5
Your words are cold like the wind
   5     5   5 -4    -4      5  -4   4
They hold  no  weight around me
6 5  5.      5     6  5    6   5 -6  5 -4
Let go. You're telling me to let   go
-4   -4    -4    -4   4    -4   5  -4 4    4
 I  know the shadows are the only ones.
