[VERSE 2]

Em                               
                         And they
|Am                            |
 paid, I cry and cry for
Em                            
you. Ghosts that haunt you with 
       |Am                         
their sorrow I cried 'cause you 
   |
were
Em                               
doomed. Praying to the wound that
|Am                            |
 swallows all that's cold and
Em                               
cruel.            Can you see the

Em                             |
     and gratitude?       They
Am            D                |
run  to  the  pines.      It’s
Em             D/F#               |
black in here, blot out the sun and
Am            D                |
run  to  the  pines.      Our
C             Em               |
misery  runs  wild and free. And,
Am            D                |
I... ... ...  knew        the
