Words:
 
verse 1                   verse 2               verse 3
 
Come closer and see       I hear her voice      Suddenly I stop
See into the trees        Calling my name       But I know its too late
Find the girl             The sound is deep     Im los in a forest
While you can             In the dark           All alone
Come closer and see       I hear her voice      The girl was never there
See into the dark         And start to run      Its always the same
Just follow your eyes     Into the trees        Im running towards nothing
Just follow your eyes     Into the trees        Again and again and again...

one correction, the intro is not 3-2-1-2... but 7-3-2-3 try it out, you'll hear it

+10

Intro should be 7-3-2-3, as @Oceans11 pointed out. Also, the second part of the intro should be: D--|--7--9--10-7-5-3-2-0 (play an open A string before each note on the D string.

It sounded a bit off... but then... just turned the tone knobs on my guitar and sounded pretty good.
