a-ha – Forest For The Trees (Guitar)

Bm       A         F#m
I don't live in a time

  G         D       Em
Where the truth prevails

  Bm         A       F#m
Things just seem to happen

      G    D       Em
On an escalating scale

       Bm      A     F#m
They play you for a fool

    G      D      Em
To weaken your resolve

  Bm      A      F#m
Drowning you in details

    G        D         Em
To make you miss the whole

 Bm      F#      D      E
Sunbeams and forget-me-nots

 Bm      F#      D       E
Beads of amber, parking lots

  Bm       F#       D     E
From your view you see a lot

  G       D      A
What you really see

 G      A7       Em
Forest for the trees

Bm       A         F#m
I don't live in a world

 G       D   Em
Big on clarity

     Bm       A        F#m
The way it's coming at us

 G    D       Em
So relentlessly

  Bm       A         F#m
Where does one thing end

G        D         Em
And the next one start

      Bm   A    F#m
And where to begin

    G      D     Em
To keep it all apart

 Bm      F#      D      E
Sunbeams and forget-me-nots

 Bm      F#       D     E
Keys are in the flower pot

   Bm     F#        D         E
A rider brings his horse to trot

G       D       A
All is lost on me

 G      A7       Em
Forest for the trees

 Bm      F#      D      E
Sunbeams & forget-me-nots

  Bm    F#   D      E
Awoken by a rifle shot

  Bm       F#       D     E
From your view you see a lot

     G      D        A
But never the whole piece

 G      A7       Em
Forest for the trees

       Bm     F#      D      E
We're running out of movie-plots

       Bm       F#     D     E
Your stomach's tied into a knot

  Bm     F#      D       E
Crackles as the needle drops

      G      D   A
On a somber melody

   G         D   A
A heartbreak elegy

G      D     A
Unsurprisingly

         G      A7       Em
Called 'Forest for the trees'
