[G] [E]
[G] [Em] [E]
[Bm] [E]
[Am]
[G#] Famous but a fruit tree, [G] [C]
so very [F#] unsound
[Am]
It [G#] can never flourish, [C]
till its [F#] stalk is in the ground
[Am]
So [G#] many famed, [C]
who never [F#] find a way
[Am]
Till [G#] time has flown, [C]
far [F#] from their dying [E] day
[C#]
[B] Forgotten while they're here, [A]
[E] remembered for a [Em] while
A [B] much updated ruin [A] from a much [Am] updated [E] style
[Am] Life [G#] is but a memory, [Em] happened [F#] long ago
[Am] [E] Theater full of sadness, [C] for a [F#] long forgotten [Am] show
Seems [G#] so easy, [C] just to let [F#] it go on by
[Am] Till you stop [G#] and wonder, [C] why you never [F#] wondered [E] why
[F] Safe in the womb, 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
[Am] That's when they'll know, what you really were
[C#] [B]
Forgotten while [A] you're here, remembered [E] for a while
[C#] A much [B] updated ruin from [A] a much [Am] updated [E] style

[A] [Am]
[G#] Famous but a fruit tree, [C]

It [G#] can never flourish, [C]
till its stalk [F#] is in the ground
[Am]
So [G#] many famed, [C]
who never [F#] find a [Am] way

[E] [Am]
Fruit tree, [E] fruit tree
[Gm] No one [C] loves [D] you, but the rain and the air
[Dm] Don't you worry, [E] they'll stand and stare when [Am] you're gone
Fruit tree, [E] fruit tree
[Gm] Open your [F#m] eyes, to another year
[Dm] They'll all [E] know, that you were here when [Am] you're gone
[A] [E]
