Chords

[Intro] C5 [Verse 1]
                 Cm
I've seen the trees

            F5
In heart of storm

Cm
 In clearest skies

Cm
I've seen them breathe

               C
I've seen them fall

     Fm
I've seen them fly
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm           Ab Cm
The gentle breeze that stirs their crown

Cm
Flows from the storm that lays them down

           Ab
Oh, may we fight

            G
And may we waltz

    C                 Fm
And may we find harmony

              F  C  Cm
Like wind and tree
[Chorus] N.C. I've seen the sea N.C. Give men a home N.C. And drown them too N.C. I've seen her lead N.C. Men back to shore
    Fm        Cm
To start anew
[Post-Chorus] N.C. But it's never long before N.C. An old yearning rises for
             Ab
The cradled nights

            G
The siren's call

          Eb            Fm
Let me always return to thee

                      D
Like sailors to the sea
[Instrumental] Eb F D Eb Cm [Verse 2] N.C. One day I fell
             Fm
And broke my wrist

                   Gm    Eb
lay still on the ground

Cm                          Fm
 Ants were carrying little twigs

          G        Eb
Over my still hand

Cm                      Fm
 Some kids around were scorning me

                 G Eb
Yet I heard no sound

Cm                        Fm
 Then as they started to kick my back

  F              Gm
I sank into the sand
[Instrumental] Abm Gm Cm Gm Ab G Cm Gm Ab G Fm Ab Gm
[Pre-Chorus]
Abm G Cm Gm            Ab  G Cm        G
D---e-e---p down, sank d---e-e---p down

           Fm           Ab    G
'Til I was part of everything

Gm   Abm    Cm         Gm    Abm       Cm       Gm
 And in a grain of sand, saw peace in Holy land

             Fm               Ab  Gm
and saw you right in front of me

  Abm  Gm       Cm   Gm Ab      G     Cm  Gm
Shapeless, sacred dust, beaming light, and trust

Ab  G        Fm      Ab    Gm
Covering all harm in shade

     Abm  Gm    Cm      Gm
Then in a drop of blood

    Ab      G      Cm      Gm
Saw wars be fought for good

    Ab Gm Fm      Ab            Cm C
And sa-w you make way for man's truth
[Chorus]
      F        Cm
Just for a while

            C
Though just enough

Fm             C
To lose my youth
N.C. From that day on
       Fm    C
I've been corrupt
[Outro] N.C. For I've held on to faith
               Cm
And I've been knocking on its gate

          Ab               C  G5
To let me see you one more time

    Cm
Begging to never speak the truth

Fm   F                 D
More than I speak of you
Eb C C5
