Sat By A Tree

C

C   Dm

[Verse 1]
  C
I look back

It had been a long night

Sitting by the fire

Soon it will be light
      Dm
It may only last a moment
But a moment can last a lifetime in 
    F
your mind

I find it's on the telly

What are they trying to sell me?

Dm
     I don't wanna

[Chorus]
C
Wake up!

Time's gone by
    Dm
I'm falling down

Every night

[Verse 2]
  C
I walked off

Continues after the ad
Sat by a tree

It had captured my attention

When it started asking me
               Dm
What would you cast into existence
If you contained the persistence to 
  F
unwind?

I find it's on the telly

What are they trying to sell me?

Dm
     I don't wanna

[Chorus]
C
Wake up!

Time's gone by
    Dm
I'm falling down

Every night


[Verse 3]
       C
It's a short life

And sadly unrehearsed

If when I die, if you think of me, 
think of my best first
          Dm
But it is out of my control
What this world wants there to be 
              F
told of me in time

Wake up in the morning and I'm 
running

Running past the Rally's but I'm 
starving
F
I want to see the trains in the sun 
if I can

Lay down in the grass after St. 
Anne's

Dm
     I don't wanna

F
I find it's on the telly

What are the trying to sell me?

Dm
     I don't wanna

[Chorus]
C
Wake up!

Time's gone by

I'm falling down

Every night

C
Wake up

Time's gone by
    Dm
I'm falling down
      C
Every night
