C#m         B
I know your everything
C#m                B
Well I know those tales you told
C#m          B
I smell them in the breeze
            C#m
With every midnight break,
           B
I beg you take me please

I let my soul escape
Well I let my blood run cold
So that my nerves would freeze
Whatever it would take
To set my heart at ease

Chorus:
E                     B
Well later on it got so complicated
  A                          B
That little rock became the roots of hatred,
 E                B                       A
Roots of hatred, roots of hatred, had me fallin'
          B
Fallin' apart,
 A                             B
eatin', eatin' away all of my heart.

              E B C#m B
Oh yeah yeah yeah

A secret hiding place
You said there’s buried gold
Under roots of all those trees
Whatever I must face
I’ll set my heart at ease

Chorus

              E        B    C#
Oh yeah yeah yeah, oh yeah, oh oh
              E        B    C#
Oh yeah yeah yeah, oh yeah, oh oh
