Lyrics via http://lyrics.wikia.com/J%C3%B3nsi:Around_Us
 
This is based on the acoustic (piano) performance aired January 21st 2010 on
WNYC (http://www.wnyc.org/shows/soundcheck/episodes/2010/01/21/segments/148377).
 
I you read this before the album is released (April 5-6th 2010),
you may listen to a small part of the whole track which is part of
the album medley available at Jonsi's website: http://jonsi.com/ .
 
Setup:
Standard tuning E A D G e
Capo on 1st
 
Listening to the piano, it seems that the song can be played reasonably
accurately following this scheme:
 
Verse
4/4: D / D / Em7 / G
 
Intermezzo:
4/4: Em / G / Em / G
(Em seems better here)
 
 
 
D                                       Em7
I see the walls, then see them fall
          G
You break through them all
D                                       Em7
I see you crawl, now you stand tall
          G
Grow and grow till tall
 
In storm we scream against the stream, our eyes watering
Jump into lakes, the surface breaksa
We swim underwater, and our mouths - In tune
 
Em             G             Em            G
We all want to grow with the seeds we will sow
Em             G             Em            G
We all want to go with the trees we will grow
Em             G             Em            G
We all want to know when we're all meant to go
To a place you and I...
 
I see forest, a treasure chest full of labyrinth
I see a door, holes in the floor
We'll break seeds, we'll grow
 
There's songs, songs you bring to us
You pin both the wings on us
I hear, I see you sing for us
You go tie a string around us
 
There's songs, songs you bring to us
You pin both the wings on us
I hear, I see you sing for us
You go tie a string around us
 
We all want to grow with the seeds we will sow
We all want to go with the trees
We all want to know when we're all meant to go
To a place you and I...
 
We all want to grow with the seeds we will sow
We all want to go with the trees we will grow
We all want to know when we're all meant to go
To a place you and I...
 
I see you grow : I see you grow : Grow taller
 
(And our mouths - In tune)
 
 
Hope you'll enjoy this song,
 
Joachim
