[Verse 1]
E5 A5 E5 A5
When the deep blue night is running close on your track
E5 A5 E5 A5
And you can feel the green monkey crawlin' across your back
E5 A5 E5 A5
Don't take me so real that you forget how to feel
E5 A5 E5 A5
Don't let the threat of the dagger turn your heart into steel
[Chorus]
Bm9 E7
Smell the perfume of a silent dream
Bm9 E7
Fly the ocean, read a story to me
Bm9 E7
Speak the wisdom of a redwood tree
G N.C.
Speak to me

A5 E5 A5 E5 A5
So you think that star cluster shining bright in the sky
E5 A5 E5
Will speak the fate of your evening, tell the truth to your lie
A5 E5 A5 E5
Don't let the features you read control the tickets you buy
A5 E5 A5 E5 A5
Soon as you learn that you live, you're just beginning to die

Speak the wisdom of a redwood tree
