C        E          Am        G
Well why won't you dance with me

C             G
The night is free

C             G          Am
And my hands...  are aching?

 E          Am        G
Why won't you hold me.

            F             C                D
Like the stars I see are holding the sky?



      F                          C
Oh I'll be hanging in the leaves

F                            C
Of this dusty old palm tree

F                            C
If you're wondering after me

F                    G
That's where I'll be

G                    C
In this dusty palm tree



C        E          Am        G
Well why won't you sing to me

C                G
Sing me a melody

C        G                       Am
So sweet... that it makes my heart bleed?

         E          Am        G
Well why won't you cradle me,

           F                 C                D
Rock me endlessly like the waves rock the sea?


      F                            C
Well I'll be hanging in the leaves

F                         C
Of this dusty old palm tree

F                         C
If you're wondering after me

F                 G
That's where I'll be

G                   C
In this dusty palm tree



C        E          Am        G
Well why don't you run to me,

            C         G                           Am
Cross this empty beach... scrape the sand with your feet,

E              Am              G
And lean up against this tree,

            F               C                  D
Where I'm swinging in the breeze, just out of reach


       F                            C
Well I'll be hanging in the leaves

F                         C
Of this dusty old palm tree

F                         C
If you're wondering after me

F                 G
That's where I'll be

G                   C      F C
In this dusty palm tree
