The Sapling chords by David Gray

INTRO:
Bb  F   Dm  F
Bb  Dm  Bb  F


VERSE I:

      Bb              F
Gonna lay down in the grass

    Dm         F     Bb       Dm         Bb    F
And watch that acorn split in two, slowly take root

          Bb             F          Dm   F
While the clock upon the wall makes idle boasts

       Bb         Dm      Bb      F
And my mind's out cruising silent coasts


VERSE II:

           Bb               F          Dm       F
Though the ghosts of better days might twist my eyes

     Bb        Dm                 Bb          F
Gonna stand my ground, watch that sapling rise

        BB                 F               Dm              F
Just as long as I ha??ve the strength, well, I'll raise that flag

          Bb   Dm        Bb          F
Like a wisp of cloud from a mountain crag


CHORUS:

            Am
Now this is awkward

F            Dm           Am  Am/C
 I kept it bottled up too long


VERSE III:

           Bb            F         Dm     F
Years like tiny drops of rain on a glassy lake

         Bb        Dm     Bb          F
Leaving naught but circles in their wake

          Bb           F             Dm         F
Though we barely comprehend what the question is

      Bb      Dm          Bb            F
Only know for certain, the answer is yes


CHORUS:

            Am
Now this is awkward

Am
Really do no??t know where to begin


BRIDGE:

F             Dm                 Am

             Am/C
(I know that feeling too, yeah)

F             Dm                 Am

(I know that feeling too, yeah)

F          Dm             Am
 I kept it bottled up too long

                   Am/C
(Know that feeling, know that feeling)

F                           Dm
 Tell me about it, tell me about it, tell me about it

Am             Am/C
(Like sunlight breaking through, yeah)

F                           Dm
 Tell me about it, tell me about it, tell me about it

Am           Am/C
(I know that feeling too)
