Boys In The Trees - From Boys In The Trees - 1978
[Em]I'm home again in my [G]old narrow bed
[Em]Where I grew tall and my f[G]eet hung over the end
[F#m7]The low beam room with the wi[Bm]ndow looking o[G]ut
On the so[G]ft summer gar[Cmaj7]den
Where the b[F#m7]oys grew in the tr[Bm]ees
[Em]Here I grew gui[G]lty
[Em]And no one was at[G] fault
[Em]Frightened by the power
[G]In every innocent thought
[F#m7]And the silent understand[Bm]ing passing do[G]wn
F[G]rom daughter [Cmaj7]to daughter
[F#m7]Let the boys grow [Bm]in the trees
[Em]Do you go to t[G]hem
[Em]Or do you let [G]them come to you
[Em]Do you stand in back
[G]Afraid that you'll intrude
[F#m7]Deny yourself and hope so[Bm]meone will see[G]
An[G]d live like a[Cmaj7] flower
[F#m7]While the boys gro[Bm]w in the trees
[Em]Last night I slept in sh[G]eets the color of fire
[Em]Tonight I lie alone again
And I cu[G]rse my own desires
[F#m7]Sentenced first to burn a[Bm]nd then to fre[G]eze
A[G]nd watch by t[Cmaj7]he window
[F#m7]Where the boys gre[Bm]w in the trees
