verse 1 

       G         D    C 
In the ground we bury 
       G         D    C  
The seeds of a pear tree 
       G         D    C 
All the things we carried 
       G         D    C 
Now we're down to our bare feet 

                 G 
May I have this dance 
            D     C 
To make it up to you 
                     G 
Can I say something crazy 
   D    C 
I love you 
                   G 
Give me both your hands 
            D     C 
To make it up to you 
         G         D    C 
Let me spin and excite you

       G         D    C 
I'm about to inherit (Ooooooooooooh)  
       G         D    C 
The sins of our parents (Ooooooooooooh) 
       G         D    C 
And all of the people we passed through (Ooooooooooooh) 
       G         D    C 
Now we're down to the last two
