Willow

G willow , weep for me D bow your tallest tree Am down to the infamous hands C D of someone no one understands G i’m not unique in this D it’s based on none but my mistake Am at night i lie awake C D thinking of all the hearts i’d happily break Am it’s cruel , i know D at least they tell me so Am G well someone lock me up and throw away the key C because i’m not ashamed , oh no D oh , willow G that i only write love songs D to those whom i don’t love Am i only reach for him C D who’s tied to someone else’s glove G that which i hold inside D which i admire and deride C D which i protect and hide is yours G willow , weep for me D don’t think i don’t see Am this life i’m living in two C D but still it’s something i must do G i’m not unique in this D nor Am i special , sweet or kind Am i court a thousand smiles C D yet i keep my own to hide behind Am it’s cruel i know D at least they tell me so Am G well someone lock me up and throw away the key C because i’m not ashamed , oh no D oh , willow G that i only write love songs D to those whom i don’t love Am i only reach for him C D who’s tied to someone else’s glove G that which i hold inside D which i admire and deride C D which i protect and hide is yours Am G slander and dissention D Am they’re parlour games to me G D papers overrun with lies too mad to mention Am G you say they never hurt you D Am no consequence , i’m happy G we’re much too far above it all D Am but oh no , that’s not true Em these wicked pastimes take their toll Am these tyrant vices break your soul Em deliver me from all i Am G and all i never want to be Am i love you ( oh willow , willow , willow ) D doubt me not C E rewrite this plot for all to see G and i only write love songs D to those whom i don’t love Am i only reach for him C D who’s tied to someone else’s glove G that which i hold inside D which i admire and deride C D which i protect and hide is yours Am G D Am bend your branches to the ground and hold me close G D Am let me harmonize with all thats good in you G D share your sympathy and weep for me Am oh , willow , heal the hearts i’ve broken C D make me pure and start my song anew G D Am C D G for i only write love songs D to those whom i don’t love Am i only reach for him C D who’s tied to someone else’s glove G that which i hold inside D which i admire and deride C D which i protect and hide is yours G is yours , is yours
