Verse:
C majorC G+G
Last night I dreamt you very near
D MajorD E minorEm
Though the night was dark beyond the glass

I knew you'd left before I awoke
D MajorD G+G
But you'd fogged the window when you passed
Verse:
C majorC G+G
The air was still and smelled like rain
D MajorD E minorEm
Though I'd never known so dry a spell
E minorEm
And what I heard there in the dark
D MajorD G+G
Are the secrets I will never tell
Chorus:
C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
There is a tree beyond this world
C majorC G+G D MajorD

I am the fool whose life's been spent

Between what's said and what is meant

I didn't mean what went so wrong

Some things I wish I didn't know

I've always lived inside my head
D MajorD G+G
And often utterly alone
Verse:
C majorC G+G
I'll be a pillow for your head

And I'll hum to you while you sleep

Verse:
C majorC G+G
You took me by my shaking hand

Laughed at me and closed the door

And you put your hands to my waist
D MajorD G+G
And you waltzed me round the kitchen floor

C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G
There is a tree beyond this world

So I will wander without fail

In circles that grow ever wide

The sky expands and then exhales

With an ache that never will subside
