C#m  F#m E    A A


[Verse 1]
 C#m                  C#m                            F#m
Black roots in the ground, suck the water out the rivers
F#m              A
Telephone back home, tell her what she's missing
C#m               C#m
Polaroids washing up on the shore
F#m                                A
There are pictures of girls, and words like "forever" written


[Refrain]
B                      B        E
Like a spider racing into the sky
            C#m                 A        E
There's a black tree rising and no one knows why
B                     B                             E
Get's stuck in your shoes, it get's under your clothes
C#m                            A            E
The wind that's blowing cuts down to the bone


[Pre-Chorus 1]
C#m                             F#m       A
All Hell does know my name, a black tree rising
C#m                                    F#m          A
I'm the shade that'll put you away, a black tree rising
B                  B       C#m       A
Hope you don't mind if I close the door
B                   B           C#m        A
See that right there is true romance, I'm sure


[Chorus]
E                G#m           B                  G#m
Get up, shut up, I have a friend that knows your name
G#m
I know what you're thinking
     E               G#m                        B
You won't go outside, because you haven't been sleeping
                    G#m
And it wouldn't be nice if she knew
          C#m                         A
You were acting like a spider racing into the sky
           E                    F#m
There's a black tree rising and no one knows why
C#m                       A                         E
Get's stuck in your shoes, it get's under your clothes
                             F#m
The wind that's blowing cuts down to the bone


[Verse 2]
C#m                C#m                     F#m
It's impaling daylight, like it cut a deal with the night
             A
Who got her foot into the door
        C#m
And the little wooden soldiers stand guard
               F#m                           A
'Til a bloody black hoof came down from the Heaven's and sent them


[Pre-Chorus 2]
B                             E C#m A E
Like spiders racing into the sky
B                              E C#m A
Like spiders racing into the sky


[Chorus]
 E             G#m          B                      G#m
Get up, shut up, I have a friend that knows your name

I know what you're thinking
  E                 G#m                          B
You won't go outside, because you haven't been sleeping
                     G#m
And it wouldn't be nice if she knew
           C#m                       A
You were acting like a spider racing into the sky
           E                  F#m
There's a black tree rising and no one knows why
C#m                    A                           E
Get's stuck in your shoes, it get's under your clothes
                        F#m
The wind it's blowing cuts down to the bone
