Wondering.

    Gmaj7          A6            
And no, you're not alone. No, my

cousins, you're not alone.

And the branches bend 
                             Bm    
(deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet!)

To the growing sea.

And they aaaaaaaaaaask, and they 
Bm        A            Gmaj7
ask it to spread their seeds,
         F#           F#7
For they know they're drowning.

    Gmaj7          A6

You're in our headlights, frozen, 
    Bm        A   Gmaj7     A6
and no, we're not stopping.

        D   Emadd9            Bm 
You may not believe, but even we 
     A         Gmaj7     A6
were scared at first.
           D      Emadd9      Bm 
It takes a lot of nerve to 
       A        Gmaj7     A6
destroy this wondrous earth.
           D Em   Bm      A     
We're only human; this at least 
      Gmaj7    F#7
we've learned.
