Intro: G C9 x 4
G
A crooked chimney standing in the middle of a field
C9
Once surrounded by the walls of work
By laughter and by love
G
The sound of children playing
And the sound of people saying
C9 G
I love you--yeah you
G
A crooked tree stands naked near the center of the field
C9
Barely rooted in the browns and greys
Of earth that once was green
G
A place long since forgotten
In a world of yesterday
C9 G
Except by me--yeah me
(Pre-Chorus)
D C9 (mute) G
And Oh--whose plan was this anyway
D C9 G
And I never thought He would want it to be that way
(Chorus)
C9 G
It once was beautiful--Right Here
C9 G
It still is beautiful--In Here
C9 G
You once were beautiful--I hear
D
I hear it can be beautiful
C9
Just remember
G
A twisted little image in your perfect little world
C9
Of the chapter where it'd all begun
About a song already sung
G
Burnt around the edges
Nearly faded--nearly gone
C9 G
Even you--yeah you
G
A shiny building standing in the center of today
C9
Where indifferent people go to work
Go about their pay
G
Knowing they've forgotten
In a most convenient way
C9 G
Yesterday--away
(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus)
(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus-Chorus)
