May I sit down next to you

And ask you all about your life?

There's a quiet place outside
 D                Em
Just wanna hear the way you sound
 B             C
Even if it lets me down
 D              G     D  G
'Cause next to you is quite alright
 D                 Em
Do you want one, two, or three?

Add some branches on a family tree

In a house out by the pines
 D                Em
Sorry if I've gone too far

You must have fallen from the sky
