Trees
Nick Blaemire
[Verse]
D MajorD B minorBm D MajorD
I know running away's a way to avoid a reality where a void sits,
B minorBm D MajorD
and hits hard on your high hopes for happiness.
D MajorD B minorBm
But why would I stay if reality is already faking it in the first place,
D MajorD B minorBm Bm11Bm11
and I could stay singular and mingle with the wilderness?
B minorBm
That's a fantasy,
B minorBm
that's good for me,
B minorBm
cause usually,
[Verse]
D MajorD B minorBm D MajorD
People are perfectly fine until you finally get to know them,
B minorBm D MajorD B minorBm
and when they show you colors you preferred they hadn't showed then,
D MajorD B minorBm
you're stuck with the truth of the matter that'll shatter any friendship;
B minorBm D MajorD Bm11Bm11
you makeup, you break up, so let's drop the fake friend shit.
B minorBm B minorBm B minorBm
I fantasize 'till I realize that it's no surprise ....
[Chorus]
D MajorD B minorBm
I'd rather be with the trees,
B minorBm
you know what I mean.
D MajorD B minorBm
The green smoke filters through the breeze,
D MajorD
and blow dries me clean of the mess,
D MajorD
and the stress,
D MajorD
from societies, and families
N.C.
cause please,
[Verse]
D MajorD B minorBm
In civilization everyone thinks the problem's somebody else's,
D MajorD B minorBm Bm11Bm11
She hurts him and then who's fault is it, who else, his.
D MajorD B minorBm
But nobody knows 'till after the fact the problem's probably theirs too.
D MajorD B minorBm Bm11Bm11
So why try and civilize if no one else cares to?
B minorBm
It's a mountain to climb,
B minorBm
every time and that's why
B minorBm
I'm ....
[Chorus]
D MajorD B minorBm
Hanging out with the trees
B minorBm
they don't say a word,
D MajorD B minorBm
they heard every single one of my pleas,
D MajorD
and then they confer with their leaves,
D MajorD
and relive me from policies, and hypocrisies...
[Bridge]
D MajorD
When you freeze for a second
D MajorD G+G
in a world that's beckoning you to go prove something,
G+G
to go be something.
D MajorD
It's like please, for a minute
D MajorD
I'm too deep down in it
G+G
to go be something, so
G+G D MajorD C majorC
I'll go be...
E MajorE
With the tress!!
[Chorus]
E MajorE
I'll sit on my throne
C# minorC#m E MajorE
in my branches and breathe with ease,
C# minorC#m E MajorE
and I'll be alone and be free
E MajorE
from hyperbole unlike every other day,
D#dimD#dim E MajorE
in human history......
F# minorF#m
So I'd rather be...
E MajorE A augmentedA
I'd rather be,
E MajorE
With the trees!!!
[Outro]
C# minorC#m
Well right now I'm
C# minorC#m
quite sublime
N.C.
though I know..
E MajorE C# minorC#m
