Am
Run around the living tree
G
With my lover standing at my feet
F F6 Fmaj7 F6
The branches mean so much to me
Em F Gbm G
But the leaves taste oh so sweet
Am
Run around the living tree
G
I have become what you made of me
F F6 Fmaj7 F6
Can root me down or set me free
Em F Gbm G
But I’m not what you should be
[Verse 1]
Gbm
Can’t remember last I saw you
Db
Walk through that door
A
Can’t remember how we got
Fm
This blood on the floor, Oh baby
Gbm
Thinking I would let you try and
Db
Settle the score, but it might
A
hurt me now
F7 F7* F7
I didn’t feel before
Gbm
Think I lost my mind and spirits
Db
Head full of stone
A
I swear I got home late last night
Fm
And you weren’t alone, Oh baby,
Gbm
Thinking all the lies I used
Db
To build myself on
A
It’s nights like these that tear
F7 F7* F7
The stitches that I’d sewn
[Instrumental]
Am Dbm C Dbm
Am Dbm C Gbm
Em F Gbm G
[Chorus]
Am
Run around the living tree
G Fm Em
With my lover standing at my feet
F F6 Fmaj7 F6
The branches mean so much to me
Em F Gbm G
But the leaves taste oh so sweet
Am
Run around the living tree
G Fm Em
I have become what you made of me
F F6 Fmaj7 F6
Can root me down or set me free
Em F Gbm G
But I’m not what you should be
[Verse 2]
Gbm
Spent my nights so bored and restless
Db
No reason why
A
Seems I let my youth untie
Fm
You left her out dry, Oh darling,
Gbm
Maybe you can hold me down
Db
While I can’t scream and cry
A
But now that freedom that I stole into
F7 F7* F7
Goodbye
Gbm
While my eyes start rolling back
Db
My head hits the floor
E
Know that I can’t try to see
Fm
Your face anymore, Oh darling,
Gbm
Thinking if the clock turned back, please,
Db
I’d be at your door
E
But now it’s done, my lesson learned
F N.C. Em F Gbm G
So ends the war
[Chorus]
Am
Run around the living tree
G
With my lover standing at my feet
F F6 Fmaj7 F6
The branches mean so much to me
Em F Gbm G
But the leaves taste oh so sweet
Am
Run around the living tree
G
I have become what you made of me
F F6 Fmaj7 F6
Can root me down or set me free
Em F Gbm G
But I’m not what you should be
[Outro]
Am
Run around the living tree
G
With my lover standing at my feet
F F6 Fmaj7 F6
You can root me down or set me free
Em F Gbm G N.C.
But I’m not what you should be.
