Ben Lee – Ripe (Guitar)

C             G             Am             F
The moon sheds light across the end of the bed.

C             G             Am             F
You made me wait but now i'm touching your leg.

C             G             Am             F
And I remember all the little things you said,

C             G             Am             F
"quesadillas, made with cheese" and "a rock band who were japanese."

F             G             C              Am
So for once in my life, I saw what I wanted and took a bite.

F                     G                    C
I picked the fruit from the tree and it was ripe.

C             G             Am             F
Your love got big, your jokes got worse each afternoon.

C             G             Am             F
Like bacon at a bar mitzvah, like a lead balloon.

C             G             Am             F
And who's to say what really happened in that room each day?

C             G             Am             F
I was looking for a bride, you were looking for a groom.

F             G               C                     Am
So for once in your life, you saw what you wanted and took a bite.

F                     G                    C
You picked the fruit from the tree and it was ripe.

C             G             Am             F
And all you people are the heroes i've known.

C             G             Am             F
We're staring off the edge into the unknown.

C             G             Am             F
We are not there yet but we cannot go home.

C             G             
So we cry, and we sing.

Am             F
Yeah, i remember everything.

F             G                 C                   Am
How for once in our lives, we saw what we wanted and took a bite.

F                     G                     C 
We picked the fruit from the tree and it was ripe.
