Laurel Wreath chords by Bear’s Den

Intro:
Em C G D


Verse 1:

Em                     C     G
Is it the withering of tired leaves

D             Em                C      G           D
All so neatly woven around that laurel wreath?

Em                     C     G
Or the collapsing of a history

   D                 Em                       C       G       D
Of victories getting lapped now by all my towering defeats?

Em               C       G
To be a champion in your eyes

D            Em                    C     G        D
Someone that you might be proud to stand beside

Em                         C            G
But I bribed the judge and poisoned the field

D          Em                         C       G
Medals and trophies are only all that I could steal


Pre-Chorus:

        D               C                       G
But you found me in the morning, December in my eyes

        D                         Bm          C
Falling apart, bloodshot, outside Craigmaddie Hospital

           C             D
As you fly by on the 93, what are the odds?

        Bm         C
I don't know, impossible

C                           D                          Bm
Got your call, I needed it more than I could let on to you

                  C
I could let on to anyone

                     C                     D
Could hear it in the corners of all of my words

                   Bm               G
In the silence you heard all that's unspoken


Chorus:

G                     C   G    D
You don't have to be lonely alone

           Bm              Em
I could be there in a heartbeat

C   G    D
Lonely alone

G                    C   G    D
You don't have to be lonely alone

           Bm              Em
I could be there in a heartbeat

C   G    D
Lonely alone


Verse 2:

Em                      C     G
As all my statues start crumbling

D              Em                       C    G     D
I don't really know what it is that I'm offering

Em                   C       G
All I've got here is raining leaves

D                  Em               C      G
All once so neatly woven round that laurel wreath


Pre-Chorus:

        D               C                       G
But you found me in the morning, December in my eyes

        D                         Bm          C
Falling apart, bloodshot, outside Craigmaddie Hospital

           C             D
As you fly by on the 93, what are the odds?

        Bm         C
I don't know, impossible

C                          D                           Bm
Got your call, I needed it more than I could let on to you

                  C
I could let on to anyone

                     C                    D
Could hear it in the corners of all of my words

                   Bm               G
In the silence you heard all that's unspoken


Chorus:

G                    C   G    D
You don't have to be lonely alone

           Bm              Em
I could be there in a heartbeat

C   G    D
Lonely alone

G                    C   G    D
You don't have to be lonely alone

           Bm              Em
I could be there in a heartbeat

C   G    D     D       C
Lonely alone, lonely alone

Lonely alone, lonely alone
