Manchester Orchestra – When We Were Trees (Guitar)

C                        Am
You fell too fast like a cannon ball

        F                G                Am
But the fishnet stocking hands caught me again

C                      Bb                  Am
And your head explodes like nothing's wrong

            F             G             Am
And my God, we laid there silent for an hour

C                          Bb
And the birds they watched like a funeral

    Dm        F            G              Am
And they sang us all their pretty funeral songs

C                    Am
Yahweh, Yahweh, Hallelujah

       F                  C               Dm
What a mess that you have made again this time

C                       Am
Tempt us, tempest, Hallelujah

        C                                 Dm
And the birds they cry and watch us as we squall

          C     Bb  Am   Dm C G
And as we fall

C                G              Am
And we must have laid alone for hours

        F                    G              Am
I could feel your cold blood creeping up my arm

C               Bb              Am
And I asked you if you were all right

        F                 G               Am
But the bubbles from your mouth gave out alarm

C               Bb               Am
And our mothers ran towards your ghost

          F                G                    Am
While our fathers tried to fix your egg-shelled head

                   C                      Am
And they're singing, "Humpty Dumpty, Hallelujah

    F                  C            Dm
The king himself could not fix you again"

C                     Am
Now, I sing because I miss you

      F                 C               G     C
And I meant to tell you that, but I was scared

C            Am   C G
I was scared
