 Just like a willow tree

 A breath of spring you see

And oh boy you don't know what she do to me

           C             Fmaj7  E              Am         D
Well I was wondering how long    this could go on, on and on
       G               Em          Dsus4   D
Well I thought I could never be surprised
             C       Fmaj7   E         Am         D
But could it be that I-ah-ah-ay bit my own tongue
         G               Em                  Dsus4 [break] D Dsus2 D
Oh yeah, it's so hard to swallow when you're wrong

 I was blind she blew my mind think that I
