Tom: D
D Gmaj7
it's with good reason
D Gmaj7
that a jester bears a grudge
D Gmaj7
your crime of treason,
D
left to fester,
Gmaj7
spares no room to judge
D Em7
you held me close,
Em D
laid bare your heart
Em7
and still you chose
A D
to tear us both apart
[chorus]
Gmaj7
you called it growth
D
while leaves turned brown
Gmaj7
you built a home
D Em D
and left me there to drown
Gmaj7
in my confusion
D Gmaj7
a crooked king did lead me astray
D Gmaj7
under delusion
D Gmaj7
i followed him and every word he'd say
[bridge]
D G
he held me close,
D
breathed fire into my bones
Em
and still he chose
to dig my grave alone
D G
he called it growth
D
while leaves turned brown
G
he built a home
D Em D G D
and burned it to the ground
[verse]
Gmaj7
it's with good reason
D Gmaj7
that a jester bears a grudge
D Gmaj7
yet with new seasons
D F#m D Gmaj7 G D
come better times and kinder ways to love
F#m Em
you held me close
D
my words though sharp and scorned
Em
and still you chose
D
to free me from these thorns
[outro]
Gmaj7
you knew it growth
D
though leaves turned brown
G
you built a throne
D Em Dmaj7 D Em Dmaj7 D Em Dmaj7 D
and let me wear the crown
