The Petrified Forest
From the album Honey Moon
D
[VERSE 1]
G F#m
When we were together
Bm Bm/A G
I lay in your river
G A Bm Bm/A Bm
As the fish swam through my hands
G F#m
Raindrops and roses
Bm Bm/A G
fell from the heavens
G A D Dsus4 D
Just to brush against your skin
G F#m
And a strand of your hair
Bm Bm/A G
lost to the wind
G A D Dsus4 D
Sent doves wheeling through the air
[CHORUS]
G A D Dsus4 D
But now I'm alone in the petrified forest
G A Bm Bm/A Bm
Stumbling on rocks in the dark
G A D Dsus4 D
But I remember, I still remember
G A D Dsus4 D
When you held me in your beautiful arms
[INTERLUDE]
G F#m Bm Bm/A G A Bm Bm/A Bm

[VERSE 2]
G F#m
When you left me alone
Bm Bm/A G
the sky turned to stone
G A Bm Bm/A Bm
And my legs rolled into the sea
G F#m
Why did you go?
Bm Bm/A G
The sea was so cold
G A D Dsus4 D
My arms blew off in the breeze
G F#m
I search for your footprints,
Bm Bm/A G
the scent of roses
G A D Dsus4 D
As the wind weeps over the sea
[CHORUS]
G A D Dsus4 D
But now I'm alone in the petrified forest
G A Bm Bm/A Bm
Stumbling on rocks in the dark
G A D Dsus4 D
And I remember, I'll always remember
G A Bm Bm/A Bm Bm/A Bm Bm/A Bm
When you held me in your beautiful arms
