Boys In The Trees - From Boys In The Trees - 1978
Em G
I'm home again in my old narrow bed
Em G
Where I grew tall and my feet hung over the end
F#m7 Bm C
The low beam room with the window looking out
G Cmaj7
On the soft summer garden
F#m7 Bm
Where the boys grew in the trees
Em G
Here I grew guilty
Em G
And no one was at fault
Em
Frightened by the power
G
In every innocent thought
F#m7 Bm C
And the silent understanding passing down
G Cmaj7
F#m7 Bm
Let the boys grow in the trees
Em G
Do you go to them
Em G
Or do you let them come to you
Em
Do you stand in back
G
Afraid that you'll intrude
F#m7 Bm C
Deny yourself and hope someone will see
G Cmaj7
And live like a flower
F#m7 Bm
While the boys grow in the trees
Em G
Last night I slept in sheets the color of fire
Em
Tonight I lie alone again
G
And I curse my own desires
F#m7 Bm C
Sentenced first to burn and then to freeze
G Cmaj7
And watch by the window
F#m7 Bm
Where the boys grew in the trees
F#m7 Bm Gmaj9 Em
Boys in the trees
