[G#] Fame is but a fruit tree, [C]
so very [F#] unsung
[Am]
It can [G#] never flourish, [C]
till its stalk is [F#] in the ground

remembered [E] for a while

A much [B]-updated ruin from [A] a much-outdated [E] style
Life [Am] [G#] is but a memory, [C] happened [F#] long ago
[Em] [Am] Feared [E] a full of sadness, [G#] [C] for a [F#] long-forgotten show
[Am] Seems so [G#]
easy, [C] just to let it [F#] go on by
[Am] Till you stop [G#] and wonder, [C] why you never wondered why
[E]
[Am] Safe [F] in the womb, [E] of an everlasting night
[Am] You find the darkness [E] can, give the brightest light
[Am] Safe in your place, [E] deep in the eye

tree, [E] fruit tree
[Gm] No one [C] knows you, [D] but the rain in the air

[Dm]
That'll [E] know, that you were here when [Am] you're gone
