Willow    (video)

 

    Em                                            D                      Em        - D

1. I'm like the water when your ship rolled in that night,

     Em                                          D                            C

    rough on the surface but you cut through like a knife.

Em                         D

    And if it was an open/shut case,

Em                              D                                       Em

    I never would've known from the look on your face,

                         D                                  C

    lost in your current like a priceless wine.

 

G                                  D                     Am                            Em         G

    The more that you say, the less I know, wherever you stray, I follow.

                           D                    Am                      Em

I'm begging for you to take my hand, wreck my plans, that's my man.

 

     Em                                 D                        Em    - D

2. Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind,

      Em                                      D                      C

    head on the pillow, I could feel you sneakin' in.

Em                            D

    As if you were a mythical thing,

Em                          D                              Em

    like you were a trophy or a champion ring,

                                      D                       C

    and there was one prize I'd cheat to win.

 

G                                  D                     Am                            Em         G

    The more that you say, the less I know, wherever you stray, I follow.

                           D                    Am                      Em                      G

I'm begging for you to take my hand, wreck my plans, that's my man.

                                 D                           Am                     Em             G

You know that my train could take you home, anywhere else is hollow.

                           D                    Am                      Em

I'm begging for you to take my hand, wreck my plans, that's my man.

 

+  Bm - Em

 

     Am                                  D                        Bm     - Em

+  Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind,

Am                              D                      Bm    - Em

    they count me out, time and time again.

     Am                                  D                        Bm  - Em

    Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind,

         Am                     D                            G

    but I come back stronger than a 90's trend.

 

      Em                                      D                  Em    - D

3. Wait for the signal and I'll meet you after dark,

       Em                                          D                           C

    show me the places where the others gave you scars.

Em                        D

    Now this is an open/shut case,

Em                                   D                                     Em

    I guess I should've known from the look on your face,

                                D                            C

    every bait-and-switch was a work of art.

 

G                                  D                     Am                            Em         G

    The more that you say, the less I know, wherever you stray, I follow.

                           D                    Am                      Em                      G

I'm begging for you to take my hand, wreck my plans, that's my man.

                                 D                           Am                     Em             G

You know that my train could take you home, anywhere else is hollow.

                           D                    Am                      Em                      G

I'm begging for you to take my hand, wreck my plans, that's my man.
