D     C                     G          A
If I see you hiding in the night by a peppercorn tree
D            C              G          A
The tree it moves, lets me see what I wanna see
   A#                  D#                 C         F
A poison gaze of your mind is all that's worrying me.

The pictures that I see are seen by no-one else but me
To cause the night to be in sight, a little point of me
I imagine nearly anything I want to see

Chorus:
       G        A          D
Black veils of melancholy falling on me
       G          A            D
Black veils keep shadowing my mind
       G          A                  D
Black veils that make my mind seem small - x2

I see you with my eyes closed getting closer and closer to me
I open my eyes up and you're not there
It's all in my mind

Chorus - x2
