Capo: 2 Tuning: E A D G B E

[Intro] G Em G [Verse]

Last night I dreamt you ^Cvery ^Gnear Though the night was dark be^Dyond the ^Emglass ^EmI knew you'd left before I awoke But you'd fogged the window ^Dwhen you ^Gpassed

[Verse]

The air was still and ^Csmelled like ^Grain Though I'd never known so ^Ddry a ^Emspell ^EmAnd what I heard there in the dark Are the secrets I will ^Dnever ^Gtell

[Chorus]

There ^Cis a ^Gtree be^Dyond this ^Gworld In it's ^Cancient ^Groots, a ^Dsong is curled I ^Cam the ^Gfool whose ^Dlife's been^Em spent Between what's ^Dsaid and what is ^Gmeant

[Instrumental] G Em G [Verse]

I didn't mean what ^Cwent so ^Gwrong Some things I wish I ^Ddidn't ^Emknow ^EmI've always lived inside my head And often utter^Dly a^Glone

[Verse]

I'll be a pillow ^Cfor your ^Ghead You can make me promises ^Dyou can't ^Emkeep ^EmAnd I'll believe each word you say And I'll hum to you ^Dwhile you ^Gsleep

[Chorus]

There ^Cis a ^Gtree be^Dyond this ^Gworld In it's ^Cancient ^Groots, a ^Dsong is curled I ^Cam the ^Gfool whose ^Dlife's been^Em spent Between what's ^Dsaid and what is ^Gmeant

[Instrumental] G Em G [Verse]

You took me by my ^Cshaking ^Ghand Laughed at me and ^Dclosed the ^Emdoor ^EmAnd you put your hands to my waist And you waltzed me round the ^Dkitchen ^Gfloor

[Chorus]

There ^Cis a ^Gtree be^Dyond this ^Gworld In it's ^Cancient ^Groots, a ^Dsong is curled I ^Cam the ^Gfool whose ^Dlife's been^Em spent Between what's ^Dsaid and what is ^Gmeant

[Instrumental] G Em G [Verse]

So I will wander ^Cwithout ^Gfail In circles that grow ^Dever ^Emwide ^EmThe sky expands and then exhales With an ache that never ^Dwill sub^Gside

[Chorus]

There ^Cis a ^Gtree be^Dyond this ^Gworld In it's ^Cancient ^Groots, a ^Dsong is curled I ^Cam the ^Gfool whose ^Dlife's been^Em spent Between what's ^Dsaid and what is ^Gmeant

[Outro] G Em G G Em G
