[Verse 1]
G
Another forest metaphor
Eb
You've heard a million before
B G/D
The trees know everything, I tried a wedding ring
Cm
But you just cringed and said, "What for?"
G
And now the whole thing's turned to ash
Eb
You tried to cover it with cash
G
Another falling tree no one can hear but me
Cm
Another suicidal mess
[Pre-Chorus 1]
D C
Landing on my doorstep, thanks a ton
D C
Oh, darling, how can I repay you for what you have done?
[Chorus]
G Em
And then you lied to me at Whakanewha
Cm
And you sealed it with a kiss
G Em
I wanted to live with you, but, fuckin'-a, fuck you
A C
No one on Earth could live like this
D Cm
[Verse 2]
G
Another clear-cut load of crap
Eb
A few more corpses in the sack
G
You'll get away with it, it's just the same old script
Cm
This world is shaped to have your back
G
You said, "I'm sorry," then you ran
Eb
And went and did it all again
G
I'm such a fool, I know
Street smart but gullible
Cm
I see the good in everything
[Pre-Chorus 2]
D
A pound of flax, a pound of steel
C
I may be dumb, but I can feel
G F C
I wonder when you'll realize what you had
D
A frightened bird, a crystal ball
C
So sad, you could've had it all
G F C
But you hate yourself too much to want all that
D C
I had so much hope for your broken heart
D C
But you've made your choice, and you chose the dark
[Chorus]
G Em
And so I'll bury you at Whakanewha
Cm
And have a party with my friends
G Em
I'll miss you terribly, but, fuckin'-a, fuck me
A C
It feels so good to love again
G Em
And so I'll bury you at Whakanewha
Cm
And have a party with my friends
G Em
I'll miss you terribly, but, fuckin'-a, fuck me
A C
It feels so good to love again
