This song is about how you might be [G#m] out on a cold [C] winter's night, you might head into
the woods, [N] maybe you bring a bottle of wine or head out into the woods, into the mountains
and, because maybe you're trying to find some sort of inspiration, you look around, but
[E] at a certain [G#] point as you get out there, the trees, the sun goes down [N] and the shapes of
the trees starts to emerge and they start to remind you of people you were trying to
remember about, or people you were trying to forget about.
It's a form of inspiration
you aren't intending.
