         Bm  G  F#m  


[Verso 1]

Bm       A         F#m 
I don't live in a time 
  G         D       Em 
Where the truth prevails 
  Bm         A       F#m 
Things just seem to happen 
      G    D       Em 
On an escalating scale 
       Bm      A     F#m 
They play you for a fool 
    G      D      Em 
To weaken your resolve 
  Bm      A      F#m 
Drowning you in details 
    G        D         Em 
To make you miss the whole 

 

[Refrão]

 Bm      F#      D      E 
Sunbeams and forget-me-nots 
 Bm      F#      D       E 
Beads of amber, parking lots 
  Bm       F#       D     E 
From your view you see a lot 
  G       D      A 
What you really see 
 G      A7       Em 
Forest for the trees

[Verso 2]

Bm       A         F#m 
I don't live in a world 
 G       D   Em 
Big on clarity 
     Bm       A        F#m 
The way it's coming at us 
 G    D       Em 
So relentlessly 
  Bm       A         F#m 
Where does one thing end 
G        D         Em 
And the next one start 
      Bm   A    F#m 
And where to begin 
    G      D     Em 
To keep it all apart 


[Refrão]

 Bm      F#      D      E 
Sunbeams and forget-me-nots 
 Bm      F#       D     E 
Keys are in the flower pot 
   Bm     F#        D         E 
A rider brings his horse to trot 
G       D       A 
All is lost on me 
 G      A7       Em 
Forest for the trees

[Refrão]

 Bm      F#      D      E 
Sunbeams & forget-me-nots 
  Bm    F#   D      E 
Awoken by a rifle shot 
  Bm       F#       D     E 
From your view you see a lot 
     G      D        A 
But never the whole piece 
 G      A7       Em 
Forest for the trees 
       Bm     F#      D      E 
We're running out of movie-plots 
       Bm       F#     D     E 
Your stomach's tied into a knot 
  Bm     F#      D       E 
Crackles as the needle drops 
      G      D   A 
On a somber melody 
   G         D   A 
A heartbreak elegy 
G      D     A 
Unsurprisingly 
         G      A7       Em 
Called 'Forest for the trees' 

Final Bm  G  F#m
