Intro:  C G F (4x) 

verse 1 
        C          G F 
In the ground, we bury 
      C         G    F 
The seeds of a pear tree 
          C        G  F 
All the things we carried 
           C           G    F 
Now we're down to our bare feet 

                  C 
May I have this dance? 
           G      F 
To make it up to you 
                     C 
Can I say something crazy? 
   G    F 
I love you 
                   C 
Give me both your hands 
           G      F 
To make it up to you 
        C          G    F 
Let me spin and excite you
 

verse 2 
        C         G  F 
We are bound to inherit 
     C            G  F 
The sins of our parents 
                C         G       F 
And all of the people we passed through 
           C           G    F 
Now we're down to the last two
