Tom: G Intro: [G C9] x 4 G A crooked chimney standing in the middle of a field C9 Once surrounded by the walls of work By laughter and by love G The sound of children playing And the sound of people saying C9 G I love you--yeah you G A crooked tree stands naked near the center of the field C9 Barely rooted in the browns and greys Of earth that once was green G A place long since forgotten In a world of yesterday C9 G Except by me--yeah me [Pre-Chorus] D C9 [mute] G And Oh--whose plan was this anyway D C9 G And I never thought He would want it to be that way [Chorus] C9 G It once was beautiful--Right Here C9 G It still is beautiful--In Here C9 G You once were beautiful--I hear D I hear it can be beautiful C9 Just remember G A twisted little image in your perfect little world C9 Of the chapter where it'd all begun About a song already sung G Burnt around the edges Nearly faded--nearly gone C9 G Even you--yeah you G A shiny building standing in the center of today C9 Where indifferent people go to work Go about their pay G Knowing they've forgotten In a most convenient way C9 G Yesterday--away (Pre-chorus) (Chorus) (Pre-chorus) (Chorus-Chorus)
