Am
Run around the living tree
        G
With my lover standing at my feet
    F        F6      Fmaj7   F6
The branches mean so much to me
        Em          F    Gbm G
But the leaves taste  oh so  sweet

Am
Run around the living tree
  G
I have become what you made of me
    F       F6      Fmaj7  F6
Can root me down or set me free
        Em      F   Gbm      G
But I’m not what  you should be


[Verse 1]
Gbm
  Can’t remember last I saw you
Db
Walk through that door
A
  Can’t remember how we got
     Fm
This blood on the floor, Oh baby
Gbm
  Thinking I would let you try and
Db
Settle the score, but it might
A
hurt me now
                F7    F7*  F7
I didn’t feel before

Gbm
  Think I lost my mind and spirits
Db
Head full of stone
A
  I swear I got home late last night
    Fm
And you weren’t alone, Oh baby,
Gbm
  Thinking all the lies I used
   Db
To build myself on
                 A
It’s nights like these that tear
                      F7    F7*  F7
The stitches that I’d sewn


[Instrumental]
Am       Dbm       C       Dbm
Am       Dbm       C       Gbm
Em F Gbm G


[Chorus]
Am
Run around the living tree
        G              Fm       Em
With my lover standing at my feet
    F        F6      Fmaj7   F6
The branches mean so much to me
        Em          F    Gbm G
But the leaves taste  oh so  sweet

Am
Run around the living tree
  G                    Fm      Em
I have become what you made of me
    F       F6      Fmaj7  F6
Can root me down or set me free
        Em      F   Gbm      G
But I’m not what  you should be


[Verse 2]
Gbm
  Spent my nights so bored and restless
Db
No reason why
A
  Seems I let my youth untie
    Fm
You left her out dry, Oh darling,
Gbm
  Maybe you can hold me down
      Db
While I can’t scream and cry
             A
But now that freedom that I stole into
    F7    F7*  F7
Goodbye

Gbm
  While my eyes start rolling back
   Db
My head hits the floor
E
  Know that I can’t try to see
     Fm
Your face anymore, Oh darling,
Gbm
  Thinking if the clock turned back, please,
Db
I’d be at your door
             E
But now it’s done, my lesson learned
            F    N.C.   Em F Gbm G
So ends the war


[Chorus]
Am
Run around the living tree
        G
With my lover standing at my feet
    F        F6      Fmaj7   F6
The branches mean so much to me
        Em          F    Gbm G
But the leaves taste  oh so  sweet

Am
Run around the living tree
  G
I have become what you made of me
    F       F6      Fmaj7  F6
Can root me down or set me free
        Em      F   Gbm      G
But I’m not what  you should be


[Outro]
Am
Run around the living tree
        G
With my lover standing at my feet
        F       F6      Fmaj7  F6
You can root me down or set me free
        Em      F   Gbm      G   N.C.
But I’m not what  you should be.
