         Bm  G  F#m

Bm       A         F#m
I don’t live in a time
  G         D       Em
Where the truth prevails
  Bm         A       F#m
Things just seem to happen
      G    D       Em
On an escalating scale
       Bm      A     F#m
They play you for a fool
    G      D      Em
To weaken your resolve
  Bm      A      F#m
Drowning you in details
    G        D         Em
To make you miss the whole

 Bm      F#      D      E
Sunbeams and forget-me-nots
 Bm      F#      D       E
Beads of amber, parking lots
  Bm       F#       D     E
From your view you see a lot
  G       D      A
What you really see
 G      A7       Em
Forest for the trees

             Bm  G  F#m

Bm       A         F#m
I don’t live in a world
 G       D   Em
Big on clarity
     Bm       A        F#m
The way it’s coming at us
 G    D       Em
So relentlessly
  Bm       A         F#m
Where does one thing end
G        D         Em
And the next one start
      Bm   A    F#m
And where to begin
    G      D     Em
To keep it all apart

 Bm      F#      D      E
Sunbeams and forget-me-nots
 Bm      F#       D     E
Keys are in the flower pot
   Bm     F#        D         E
A rider brings his horse to trot
G       D       A
All is lost on me
 G      A7       Em
Forest for the trees

Bm  G  F#m
             Bm  G  F#m

 Bm      F#      D      E
Sunbeams & forget-me-nots
  Bm    F#   D      E
Awoken by a rifle shot
  Bm       F#       D     E
From your view you see a lot
     G      D        A
But never the whole piece
 G      A7       Em
Forest for the trees
       Bm     F#      D      E
We’re running out of movie-plots
       Bm       F#     D     E
Your stomach’s tied into a knot
  Bm     F#      D       E
Crackles as the needle drops
      G      D   A
On a somber melody
   G         D   A
A heartbreak elegy
G      D     A
Unsurprisingly
         G      A7       Em
Called ‘Forest for the trees’

Bm  G  F#m
