Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Esus4][D][Esus4][D][Esus4][D][Esus4][Bm][D][G]
[Bm][D][G][Esus4]
I'm home [Em]again

[Verse 1]
[Esus4]in my old na[G]rrow bed[Em]
Where [Esus4]I grew tall and my[Em]
[G]feet hung over the end
[F#dim]The low beam room with
the [Bm]window looking [C]out
On [G]the soft summer [C]garden
Where [F#sus4]the boys g[F#]rew in
the trees
[Bm]

[Verse 2]
[Esus4]
Here I grew guilty
[Em]An d n[G]o one was at fault
[Em]Frig[Esus4]htened by the power
in [G]every innocent thought
And [F#dim]the si lent under
[Bm]standing passing [C]down
From [G]daughter to [C]daughter
Let the [F#sus4]boys grow [F#]in

[Interlude 1]
the trees
[G][C#m][Bm][Esus4]

[Verse 3]
Do you go to [Esus4]them or d[Em]o you let[G]
them come to [Esus4]you
Do you stand in [Em]back afraid
[G]that you'll intrude
[F#dim]Deny yourself and hope[Bm]
someone will [C]see
And [G]live like a [C]flower
While [F#sus4]the boys g[F#]rew in the trees

[Interlude 2]
[Bm][C#m]
[Bm][Esus4][E][A][D][G]
[F#sus4][B][Esus4]

[Verse 4]
Last night I [Esus4]slept in [Em]sheets[G]
the colour of fire
[Em]Tonight I lie alon[Esus4]e again an[Em]d
[G]curse my own desires
Sen[F#dim]tenced first to bu[Bm]rn
and then to [C]freeze
[G]And watch by [C]the window
Where [F#sus4]the boys g[F#]rew in the trees

[Outro 1]
[Bm][F#sus4][F#][Bm][G][Bm]
[G][Bm]
