And now [Dm] his fallen heart, he [E] feels [Dm] the falling dark.
How [C] he longs to be [Am] beneath this dreaming tree.
[Dm] Conquered fear and climb, a moment frozen in time.
When the girl [C] who first he kissed, [Am] promised him she'd be his.
[Dm] Remembered mother's words, there beneath the tree.
No matter [C] what the world, [Am] he'd always been a baby.

[C] Gave it all she had, but treasure slowly faded.

Smile of [F] sweetest flowers, wilted so and sour.
