Lime Tree

       D                               Gbm
I keep floating down the river but the ocean never comes
D                                      G
Since the operation I heard you're breathing just for one
     Em                          A
Now everything is imaginary, especially what you love
    Em                                G
You left another message, said it's done
       D
It's done

[Verse 2]

       D                                Gbm
When I hear beautiful music it's always from another time
     D                          G
Old friends I never visit, I remember what they're like
 Em                              A
Standing on a doorstep full of nervous butterflies
    Em                          G
Waiting to be asked to come inside
                D
Just come inside

[Chorus]

            Em     A
But I keep going out
        D                 A                G
I can't sleep next to a stranger when I'm coming down
    Gb                              Bm
It's 8 a.m., my heart's beating too loud
D
Too loud
      A        Em           Gb                        G
Don't be so amazing (ah ah ah) or I'll miss you too much
   Gb                              G
I felt something that I had never touched


[Verse 3]
D                          Gbm
Everything gets smaller now the further that I go
             D                             G
Towards the mouth and the reunion of the known and the unknown
Em                              A
Consider yourself lucky if you think of it as home
             Em                                 G
You can move mountains with your misery if you don't
            D
If you don't

     D                            Gbm 
It comes to me in fragments, even those still split in two
            D                                   Em
Under the eaves of that old lime tree I stood examining the fruit

            Em                               A
Some were ripe and some were rotten, I felt nauseous with the truth
             Em                        G
There will never be a time more opportune

[Chorus]
D          Em           A
So I just won't be late
             D                  A             G
The window closes, shocks roll over in a tidal wave
    Gb                                 G
And all the color drains out of the frame

D

    A             Em             Gb                         G
So pleased with a daydream (ah ah ah) that now living is no good
        A                                  Bm
I took off my shoes and walked into the woods
       Gb                                  G        D
I felt lost and found with every step I took
