Chords

[Chorus]
C     Dm
Black trees

Dm                            C
Shaking together in the white breeze

      Dm
Black trees

Dm                           C
Shaking together in the white breeze
[Verse 1]
C                                   Am
I do not know where either of us can turn

         G
Just at first

G                              F
Waking from the sleep of each other

          G
Just at first

Am
I do not know how we can

            C
Any longer bear

             G
To feast our eyes upon

            F
The flowing river

                G
Baby feast your eyes

G
I heard what you said

G
So why don’t you

               Am
Tell it to the room

                         C
Yeah just tell it to the room

                                    G
Just turn around and tell it to the room

F
Just turn around and tell it
[Chorus]
       Dm
Black trees

                                C
Shaking together in the white breeze

          Dm
Like bare trees

                              C
Shaking together in the white breeze

       Dm
Black trees

                                  Am
Shaking it together in the white breeze
[Verse 2]
                 G
Held within this kiss

          F
Yet still alone

            Am
Within this kiss

Am
So then in conclusion

               C
Let it be the same

                    G
Whether we turn to the dark

                 F
Or to the lips of another

            G
Whether we turn to the dark

                            Am
Let us know this for taking leave

            C
For taking leave

                       F
And like rain scented earth

                   Am
Heaped up over the heart

                C
Is love grown perfect

                       F
And like a translucent shell

                 Am
Over the beat of life

                      C
Is it perfect to the last

              Am
That I may not weigh heavy upon you

                  C
Though you defeat me

            Am
Like dead leaves falling down to the ground

                     C
Is it perfect to the last

C
Is it not perfect
[Chorus]
       F
Black trees

                              C
Shaking together in the white breeze

       F
Black trees

                              C
Shaking together in the white breeze
[Verse 3]
                       F
And I’m holding on so tightly

                   Am
I’m holding on so tight

                    C
To what was never mine

C
What was never mine

                       F
And I’m holding on so tightly

                     Am
Holding on for dear life

               C
To what was never mine

C
What was never mine

                   Fmaj7
I’m holding on so tight

                  C
To what was never mine

               Fmaj7
What was never mine

                  C
I’m holding on so tight

                  Fmaj7       C   Fmaj7   C Fmaj7   C
To what was never mine
