Sister Wife Sex Strike - Growing Trees Chords

[Verse 1]
Am                               Dm           F       Am
Children gather ‘round me and my story I will tell to you
       Am           Dm             F              Am
It was 1963, it was summer and the sky and I were blue
  Am                 Dm       F    Am
I went to the bar to toast to my beloved
   Am                 Dm          F         Am
Barkeep took pity and bought me a bottle of red
  Am                      Dm         F      Am
I drank every drop then I stumbled into the dark
     Am                 Dm         F       Am
Last thing I recall was watching a falling star
     Am                Dm        F      Am
Into sleep, I fell and onto that star I wished
Am                        Dm   F          Am
Never to love another and nevermore to be kissed

[Verse 2]
    Em                      Bm                            Am
Now even the driest wine is never left completely free of sugars
                       Em
When the final product leaves the factory
Em         Bm
Up to 200 grams per liter, see?
          Am                         Em
And those sugars when left unchecked beget ecology
Em                 Bm
Glucose, fructose, xylose, and arabinose
Am                          Em
In my mouth became food for growing cellulose
Em
Between my teeth and in my throat
     Bm
It’s sprouting out through my nose
Am
Roots take hold and flowers bloom
    Em
And something wild grows
 
[Verse 3]
Am                Em
When I open up my mouth
  Am                   Em
A forest comes pouring out
  Am                          Em
I prune and pluck the flowers out
      Am                                                 Em
And I give them to our children so my love they will not doubt
  Am                 Em
I vow to keep up the drought
        Am                            Em
Of this poison that brought this fate about
    Am                      Em
But when I recall my love I think
     Am                           Em
Poor me, poor me, pour me another drink
 
Bm Am Em  Bm Am Em
 
Am                Em
When I open up my mouth
  Am                   Em
A forest comes pouring out
  Am                          Em
I prune and pluck the flowers out
      Am                                                Em
And I give them to you children so my love you will not doubt
