Emilie Autumn – Willow chords

          GWillow, weep for me 
          DBow your tallest tree 
             AmDown to the infamous hands 
           C             DOf someone no one understands 
          GI'm not unique in this 
               DIt's based on none but my mistake
           AmAt night I lie awake 
             C                  DThinking of all the hearts I'd happily break 

      AmIt's cruel, I know 
               DAt least they tell me so 
              Am                            GWell someone lock me up and throw away the key 
                            CBecause I'm not ashamed, oh no 
     DOh, willow 

        GThat I only write love songs 
     DTo those whom I don't love 
        AmI only reach for him 
               C               DWho's tied to someone else's glove 
              GThat which I hold inside 
         DWhich I admire and deride 
            C                DWhich I protect and hide is yours 

         GWillow, weep for me 
            DDon't think I don't see
               AmThis life I'm living in two
                C               DBut still it's something I must do
          GI'm not unique in this 
           DNor am I special, sweet or kind 
           AmI court a thousand smiles 
       C              DYet I keep my own to hide behind

      AmIt's cruel I know 
               DAt least they tell me so 
              Am                            GWell someone lock me up and throw away the key 
                            CBecause I'm not ashamed, oh no 
     DOh, willow 

        GThat I only write love songs 
     DTo those whom I don't love 
        AmI only reach for him 
               C               DWho's tied to someone else's glove 
              GThat which I hold inside 
         DWhich I admire and deride 
            C                DWhich I protect and hide is yours

  Am            GSlander and dissention 
         D               AmThey're parlour games to me 
            G                 DPapers overrun with lies too mad to mention 
Am                  GYou say they never hurt you 
    D                AmNo consequence, I'm happy 
                    GWe're much too far above it all 
    D                  AmBut oh no, that's not true 
                                  EmThese wicked pastimes take their toll 
                               AmThese tyrant vices break your soul 
                      EmDeliver me from all I am 
           GAnd all I never want to be

         DWhich I admire and deride 
            C                DWhich I protect and hide is yours

Am          G               D                 AmBend your branches to the ground and hold me close 
        G              D                 AmLet me harmonize with all that’s good in you 
            G            DShare your sympathy and weep for me
