E                                A 
Couldn't let you love me, had to put it in the soil. 
E                             A 
Buried it and gave you to the night. 
C#m                             F#m 
Didn't see it growing, then you wrapped me in its leaves 
E                          A 
just in time for us to be torn asunder.  

                   B 
"Such a beautiful heart! 
                    C#m 
Such a beautiful soul! 
                     B 
Lead me to your house 
            A 
Lead me home!" 

F#m                                 A 
How long can we go on with just the remnants? 
F#m                                  A 
Not fit to build a shelter, but I'm trying all the same. 

E                                 A 
Couldn't let you love me, now I've put that in the soil. 
E                               A 
Buried it and mourned into the night: 
                     B 
"Such a beautiful heart! 
                        C#m 
Such a beautiful soul! 
                    B 
Lead me to your house! 
                  A 
Lead me home!" 

F#m                                  A 
How long can we go on with just the remnants? 
F#m                                              A 
Not fit to build a shelter, but I'm trying all the same. 

E 
I've lain beside you. 
You've made me content. 
It was always fleeting. 

E                                                      A 
Couldn't let you love me, now I've put that in the soil. 
E                     A 
Buried all the times that I was hesitant
