Verse One:
Eb        F7        Bb
I don't write cause I don't think
Eb        F7     Bb
I don't have a need to speak
Eb      F7       Bb                    Eb
I don't see the bright side, quite as clear
    F7          Bb
Accolades and happy days
Eb         F7       Bb
They don't ever last
Eb  F7        Bb   Eb                   F7
Stories of courage clouded up with fear

Chorus:
Bb
In the broom grass, I would lie
Eb                     F7
Glimmer in my eye, the sun smiled back on me
Bb               Eb
From victory, I tried
Bb                          Eb
To match eternal light with how I lead my life
   F7                      Bb      Eb
Of course, I was forced to retreat
              F7
From victory I accept defeat

Verse Two:
Eb    F7          Bb
Waxy green and yellow walls
Eb  F7       Bb
Outside my windows fall
Eb  F7         Bb                  Eb
Covering the light I thought I'd see
      F7         Bb
Am I sad or am I sick?
Eb     F7            Bb
What's at the root of it?
Eb     F7     Bb
Do I throw my hands and quit?
Eb                  F7
Something tells me no

In the broom grass, I would lie

In silence, my darkness is denied
