Laurel Wreath

	  		
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 

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 


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
