Bears In Trees


Tom: A

D   E           A
We dance on wet pavements
D       E            A
Swim in puddles with sharks
D         E      F#m                                    D
I'll hold you so closely as they wrap their jaws around me
          E           A
I’ll sing you to sleep my love
D            E             A
And hold the boombox on my shoulder
D      E           A
I will carry these boulders
        D           E          F#m
Sing it all out loud, say I love you from the crowd
          D          E        A
You won't look and I'll just play


[Chorus]
     D        E
Sitting Pretty by the seaside
         F#m      D
Throwing rocks at passers-by
  E
I just want you to notice when I’m not around
           F#m             D         E A
I want the absence to feel profound

D E A


[Verse 2]
D        E               A
You said punch me in the face or I'll do it for you
D         E          A
Right here right now I wanna see my lights knocked out
D         E             F#m
You had a black eye for weeks, you had a story for months
D            E                  A
We've got confessions for years with the names blacked out
D    E        A
Kill your ambitions or we'll do it for you
D         E                     A                     D
Kill your darlings 'cause they'll never hold you like us
      E               F#m
These words on repeat are all we need
D            A
Are all we need


[Chorus]
 E
Sitting pretty by the seaside
         F#m      D
Throwing rocks at passers-by
  E
I just want you to notice when I'm not around
           F#m        D
I want the absence to feel profound
 E
Sitting pretty on your queen-sized bed
              F#m       D
Watching your neighbour crawl under the garden fence
E
We'll sing I can’t help falling in love
           F#m7         D                 E  A
Again and again till it means nothing again


[Bridge]
E                   A
Everyone’s getting older
E                A
Everything feels that much colder
      D                  E                 F#m
And I don't know if I’ve got the same skin that I wore
          D              E      A
When we first put pen to paper, wrote some songs about the weather
D    E                  A
Everyone's getting older
D      E              A
Everything feels that much colder
                         E                 F#m
And I don't know if I've got the same skin that I wore
        D                A
When we first put pen to paper, wrote some songs about the weather


[Chorus]
E                         E5
Sitting pretty by the seaside
    E        F#m      D
And throwing rocks at passers-by
  E              A        E            A
I just want you to notice when I’m not around
E          F#m         D
I want the absence to feel profound
 E                                 A
Sitting pretty on your queen-sized bed
E              F#m        D
Watching your neighbour crawl under the garden fence
E             A         E          A
We'll sing I can't help falling in love
  E         F#m         D
Again and again till it means nothing again
