Laurel Wreath Chords

[Intro]
Em C G D
 
 
[Verse 1]
Em                     C     G
Is it the withering of tired leaves
D             Em                C      G           D
All so neatly woven around that laurel wreath?
Em                     C     G
Or the collapsing of a history
   D                 Em                       C       G       D
Of victories getting lapped now by all my towering defeats?
Em               C       G
To be a champion in your eyes
D            Em                    C     G        D
Someone that you might be proud to stand beside
Em                         C            G
But I bribed the judge and poisoned the field
D          Em                         C       G
Medals and trophies are only all that I could steal
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
        D               C                       G
But you found me in the morning, December in my eyes
        D                         Bm          C
Falling apart, bloodshot, outside Craigmaddie Hospital
           C             D
As you fly by on the 93, what are the odds?
        Bm      C
I don't know, impossible
C                          D                           Bm
Got your call, I needed it more than I could let on to you
                  C
I could let on to anyone
                     C                    D
Could hear it in the corners of all of my words
                   Bm               G
In the silence you heard all that's unspoken
 
 
[Chorus]
G                    C   G   D
You don't have to be lonely alone
           Bm              Em
I could be there in a heartbeat
C   G   D
Lonely alone
G                    C   G   D
You don't have to be lonely alone
           Bm              Em
I could be there in a heartbeat
C   G   D
Lonely alone
 
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Em                      C     G
As all my statues start crumbling
D              Em                       C    G     D
I don't really know what it is that I'm offering
Em                   C       G
All I've got here is raining leaves
D                  Em               C      G
All once so neatly woven round that laurel wreath
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
        D               C                       G
But you found me in the morning, December in my eyes
        D                         Bm          C
Falling apart, bloodshot, outside Craigmaddie Hospital
           C             D
As you fly by on the 93, what are the odds?
        Bm      C
I don't know, impossible
C                          D                           Bm
Got your call, I needed it more than I could let on to you
                  C
I could let on to anyone
                     C                    D
Could hear it in the corners of all of my words
                   Bm               G
In the silence you heard all that's unspoken

G                    C   G   D
You don't have to be lonely alone
           Bm              Em
I could be there in a heartbeat
C   G   D
Lonely alone
G                    C   G   D
You don't have to be lonely alone
           Bm              Em
I could be there in a heartbeat
C   G   D     D       C
Lonely alone, lonely alone

I could be there in a heartbeat
C   G   D     D       G
Lonely alone, lonely alone
