Em
I'm on watch here

   D/F#                  G
So close your eyes and get some rest

    C                  Em
I'm here to watch your heart

Jumping through my hoops

With dissension in the troops

And a smile and a sigh

It don't matter to me

       C                 Em
I'm an apple, you're the tree

I won't fall when you're shook
[Pre-Chorus]

(C)           D
Ends with a kiss

                Em
It ends with a tear

                  G
It ends with the lights out

              C
Bathed in our fear

           D
Tell me nonsense

                Em
I don't want sincere

            G
I saw the lightning

                C
cut through the last

Winter sky of the year
