Verse 1:
    G+G
Another forest metaphor
        Eb MajorEb
You've heard a million before
  BB     G/DG/D
The trees know everything, I tried a wedding ring
       C minorCm
But you just cringed and said, "What for "

      G+G
And now the whole thing's turned to ash
       Eb MajorEb
You tried to cover it with cash
    G+G
Another falling tree no one can hear but me
    C minorCm
Another suicidal mess

Pre-Chorus 1:
D MajorD                C majorC
Landing on my doorstep, thanks a ton
       D MajorD                   C majorC
Oh, darling, how can I repay you for what you have done?

Chorus:
       G+G          E minorEm
And then you lied to me at Whakanewha
    C minorCm
And you sealed it with a kiss
      G+G             E minorEm
I wanted to live with you, but, fuckin'-a, fuck you
     A augmentedA           C majorC
No one on Earth could live like this

D MajorD  C minorCm

Verse 2:
    G+G
Another clear-cut load of crap
      Eb MajorEb
A augmentedA few more corpses in the sack
       G+G
You'll get away with it, it's just the same old script
       C minorCm
This world is shaped to have your back

        G+G
You said, "I'm sorry," then you ran
       Eb MajorEb
And went and did it all again
      G+G
I'm such a fool, I know

Street smart but gullible
     C minorCm
I see the good in everything

Pre-Chorus 2:
  D MajorD
A augmentedA pound of flax, a pound of steel
 C majorC
I may be dumb, but I can feel
 G+G         FF        C majorC
I wonder when you'll realize what you had
  D MajorD
A augmentedA frightened bird, a crystal ball
  C majorC
So sad, you could've had it all
    G+G         FF        C majorC
But you hate yourself too much to want all that
   D MajorD              C majorC
I had so much hope for your broken heart
      D MajorD                  C majorC
But you've made your choice, and you chose the dark

Chorus:
      G+G        E minorEm
And so I'll bury you at Whakanewha
      C minorCm
And have a party with my friends
        G+G          E minorEm
I'll miss you terribly, but, fuckin'-a, fuck me
      A augmentedA        C majorC
It feels so good to love again
      G+G         E minorEm
And so I'll bury you at Whakanewha
      C minorCm
And have a party with my friends
        G+G           E minorEm
I'll miss you terribly, but, fuckin'-a, fuck me
      A augmentedA       C majorC
It feels so good to love again
