Sapling — Foy Vance
Chords and lyrics for Sapling by Foy Vance (key of G).
Verse
I remember way back[G] when
I felt only [D]ennui
Like nothing could [A]complete me
No promise of a [G]rising sun
Illuminating [D]everyone
The very thought [A]defeated
My life was a [G]blinded light
Must be what it's like when [D]worlds collide
Especially when he [A]sees her
Pretty soon he'll tease her
I was on the road [G]too long
My laboured lover [D]only song
Not one of them a [A]keeper
[G]But if I woke in the morning to find you were gone
[Bm]I know I'd try and find the will to be strong
But am I strong [D]enough? Am I strong [A]enough?
[G]I once built a bower, I could build you a home
[Bm]Together forever but forever and on
Is still not long [D]enough, still not long [A]enough
You look confused in your [G]eyes
And I could see myself[D] as a child
Such a devastating [A]feeling
[Em] [A]
I wished I could go back[G] in time
But all I could do was [D]apologize
Right then your eyes were [A]healing
[Dm]Healing[A]
[G]Oh, if I woke in the morning to find you were gone
[Bm]I know I'd try and find the will to be strong
But am I strong [D]enough? Am I strong [A]enough?
[G]I once built a bower, I could build you a home
[Bm]Together forever but forever and on
Is still not long [D]enough, still not long [A]enough
Oh, I've been [G]Cain but I wanna be [D]Abel
Been a drunken [A]fool but I [D]wanted to be [G]stable enough
To lay every one of my [D]cards onto the table
[A]Hope it's not too late for us to find a way too
[G]If I woke in the morning to find you were gone
[Bm]I know I'd try and find the will to be strong
But am I strong [D]enough? Am I strong [A]enough?
[G]I once built a bower, I could build you a home
[Bm]Together forever but forever and on
Is still not long [D]enough, it's still not long [A]enough
[G]I went looking inside myself for a home
[Bm]Find only a sapling in search of an oak
But it's a start my[D] love, oh it's a start my [A]love
But am I strong [G]enough?
