Verse 1:
C                                 Em
 Down by our tree, that's where I keep you close
C                                 Em
 Beneath the leaves are where our dreams unfold

 Your colors fade, I feel betrayed by you
C                                    Em
 I can't see straight, what have you made me do?
D                          Am
 We used to be so wild and free
                    Em
 Now we're lost, it seems
