♫ Intro:

G G G G


♫ Verse 1:

G
We went up the mountain
      Bm7
Last Friday night
All of the animals
         Bm7
Were out in plain sight
      G
They didn’t bid us to follow them
          Bm7
They didn’t hiss us away
No, to us, my love
           G    G6   G7  G9
They had nothing to say

♫ Chorus:

     G
And while you saw the tremor
And you saw the wings
      C
You saw the glistening white teeth
               Bm
I was busy with things in my mind
 C      Bm
Things that I tend to
   C      G       G
As though to survive

♫ Verse 2:
    G
I’m not proud I was asking you
          Bm7
Do you dim yourself down?
       Bm7
Do you say terrible things about me
       G
When I’m not around?
      G
You sweep a hand through the clearing
       Bm7
Say can’t you see?
       Bm7
There ain’t anything threatening you here
      G   G6   G7  G9
Least of all me


♫ Chorus:
      G
Put your life on the easel
There, right next to mine
     C
We ain’t living like weasels
               Bm
We don’t have the time, never will
C       Bm     G
All of the creatures made for the dark woods
Whooping, that’s what I heard
      C
What if the easel fell over
                  Bm
And the paintings were burned to a crisp?


♫ Outro:
       C       Bm
Nights like these I can’t quite tell
 C      G
A fear from a wish
