I've tried to tell myself nothing's changed my dear

But I look around me and think maybe that's not so

anymore?    In the garden
A  E
   all the trees bear fruit
 A/F#    D
         Better pick them up
A  E
   before they fall
A/F#    D
       I finally grab one
A  E
 I hold it in my hand
A/F#    D
     I open it up
     E             Dsus2
It's rotten to the core

We lose our patience lose our trust.

   We lose old memories

Once more
