Emilie Autumn - Willow

G
willow , weep for me
D
bow your tallest tree
Am
down to the infamous hands
C D
of someone no one understands
G
i’m not unique in this
D
it’s based on none but my mistake
Am
at night i lie awake
C D
thinking of all the hearts i’d happily break

Am
it’s cruel , i know
D
at least they tell me so
Am G
well someone lock me up and throw away the key
C
because i’m not ashamed , oh no
D
oh , willow

G
that i only write love songs
D
to those whom i don’t love
Am
i only reach for him
C D
who’s tied to someone else’s glove
G
that which i hold inside
D
which i admire and deride
C D
which i protect and hide is yours

G
willow , weep for me
D
don’t think i don’t see
Am
this life i’m living in two
C D
but still it’s something i must do

papers overrun with lies too mad to mention
