Willow, we[G]ep for me
Bow your t[D]allest tree
Down to the i[Am]nfamous hands
Of someone [C]no one underst[D]ands
I'm not un[G]ique in this
It's based on n[D]one but my mistake
At night I [Am]lie awake
Thinking of a[C]ll the hearts I'd h[D]appily break
It's c[Am]ruel, I know
At least they t[D]ell me so
Well someone l[Am]ock me up and throw away the k[G]ey
Because I'm not ashamed, oh [C]no
Oh, w[D]illow
That I o[G]nly write love songs
To th[D]ose whom I don't love
I only r[Am]each for him
Who's tied to s[C]omeone else's gl[D]ove
That which I h[G]old inside
Which I a[D]dmire and deride
Which I prot[C]ect and hide is y[D]ours
Willow, w[G]eep for me
Don't think [D]I don't see
This life I'm l[Am]iving in two
But still it's s[C]omething I must [D]do
I'm not un[G]ique in this
Nor am I sp[D]ecial, sweet or kind
I court a t[Am]housand smiles
Yet I k[C]eep my own to h[D]ide behind
It's c[Am]ruel I know
At least they t[D]ell me so
Well someone l[Am]ock me up and throw away the k[G]ey
Because I'm not ashamed, oh [C]no
Oh, w[D]illow
That I o[G]nly write love songs
To th[D]ose whom I don't love
I only r[Am]each for him
Who's tied to s[C]omeone else's gl[D]ove
That which I h[G]old inside
Which I a[D]dmire and deride
Which I prot[C]ect and hide is y[D]ours
Sl[Am]ander and diss[G]ention
They're p[D]arlour games to [Am]me
Papers overr[G]un with lies too m[D]ad to mention
[Am]You say they never h[G]urt you
No c[D]onsequence, I'm h[Am]appy
We're much too far a[G]bove it all
But [D]oh no, that's not t[Am]rue
These wicked pastimes take their t[Em]oll
These tyrant vices break your s[Am]oul
Deliver me from all I [Em]am
And all I n[G]ever want to be
[Am]I love you (Oh willow, willow, willow)
Do[D]ubt me not
Rewr[C]ite this plot for a[E]ll to see
And I o[G]nly write love songs
To th[D]ose whom I don't love
I only r[Am]each for him
Who's tied to s[C]omeone else's gl[D]ove
That which I h[G]old inside
Which I a[D]dmire and deride
Which I prot[C]ect and hide is y[D]ours
[Am]Bend your br[G]anches to the gr[D]ound and hold me c[Am]lose
Let me h[G]armonize with a[D]ll that?s good in [Am]you
Share your s[G]ympathy and w[D]eep for me
Oh, w[Am]illow, heal the hearts I've broken
M[C]ake me pure and st[D]art my song anew
[G] [D] [Am] [C] [D]
For I o[G]nly write love songs
To th[D]ose whom I don't love
I only r[Am]each for him
Who's tied to s[C]omeone else's gl[D]ove
That which I h[G]old inside
Which I a[D]dmire and deride
Which I prot[C]ect and hide is y[D]ours
Is yours, is yo[G]urs
Bow your t[D]allest tree
