G C Em
G C Em
[Verse]
G
My body's starting to decay,
C
My mouth is dry,
Em G
I'm trying to fight the urge to fall sleep,
C Em
I don't wanna die,
G
Soil begins to pull me down,
C
Submerged from head to toe,
Em G
I can feel my b-b-body's spread,
I'm trying to lift my head,
C Em
But I'm taking root and starting to grow,
[Chorus]
G
I'm a beautiful sycamore,
C
Oh, I don't have to care about anything anymore,
[Interlude]

[Bridge]
G D C
You'll try to find me and I understand,
G
You know this city like the back of your hand,
D C
But deep roots are holding me down,
G D
We said one day we'd run away,
C G
But it's been twenty seven years and I don't recall your name,
D C
Oh God I can't remember your name.
[Outro]
G D C
