Wrap your tendrils 'round my chest

Bridge 1
Em7 Em7 
 
Shanks of slate fall to the beach
G G 
 
Wrapped in life in ultra-green

You left before I got to you
Em7 Em7 
 
You left  before I
You left before I
Em7 Em7 
 
Shook the flowers from your hair
G G 
 
Run to me and kiss my hand
Em7 Em7 
 
I'm dead  before I, I'm dead before I
