Lime Tree Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I keep floating down the river
but the [D]ocean nev[Bm]er comes[G]
Since the operation I heard [C]you're breathing
just for one
[Am]Now everything is imaginary,
[D]es pecially what you love
[Am]You left another message,
said [C]it's done
[G]It's done

[Verse 2]
[G]
When I hear beautiful music it's
[D]always from another time
[Bm]Old frie[G]nds I never visit,
I remem[C]ber what they're like
[Am]Standing on a doorstep full
of [D]nervous butterflies
[Am]Waiting to be asked to c[C]ome inside
Just come inside
[G]

[Verse 3]
But I keep [Am]going [D]out
I can't sleep [G]next to a [D]stranger
when I'm com[C]ing down
[B]It's 8 a.m., my heart is beating too [C]loud
Too [G]loud
Don't [D]be [Am]so amazing[B]
or I'll miss you too [Am]much[C]
I [B]felt something that I had never
[C]touched[D][G][Em][G]
Everything gets smaller
[D]now the further [Bm]that I [D]go
Towards the [G]mouth and the reunion
of the [C]known and the unknown
[Am]Consider yourself lucky if you
[D]think of it as home
You can move moun[Am]tains with your
misery if [C]you don't
[Am]If you don't[G]

[Verse 4]
[G]
It comes to me in fragments,
even [D]those still [G]split in [D]two[G]
Under the eaves of that old lime tree
I stood ex[Am]amining [C]the fruit
[Am]Some were ripe and some were rotten,
[D]I felt naseous with the truth
There [Am]will never be a time more
opportune
[C][D][C][G][Am]
[G]

[Verse 5]
So I just [Am]won't be [D]late
The window [G]closes,
shocks roll [D]over [G]in a tid[C]al wave
[B]And all the color drains
out [C]of the frame[G]
So [D]pleased [Am]with a day[Em]dream[Esus4]
[Am]that[B] now living is no good[C]
I took [B]off my shoes and walked
into the wood[C]s
[B]I felt lost and found with every step I [C]took[G]
