D              Gmaj7
it's with good reason
       D              Gmaj7
that a jester bears a grudge
D             Gmaj7
your crime of treason,
D
left to fester,
Gmaj7
spares no room to judge

D           Em7
you held me close,
Em             D
laid bare your heart
Em7
and still you chose
A               D
to tear us both apart

[chorus]
              Gmaj7
you called it growth
             D
while leaves turned brown
            Gmaj7
you built a home
                  D  Em D
and left me there to drown

      Gmaj7
in my confusion
   D                       Gmaj7
a crooked king did lead me astray
D     Gmaj7
under delusion
D                  Gmaj7
i followed him and every word he'd say

[bridge]
D          G
he held me close,
D
breathed fire into my bones
             Em
and still he chose
to dig my grave alone

D            G
he called it growth
             D
while leaves turned brown
           G
he built a home
                     D Em D G D
and burned it to the ground

[verse]
               Gmaj7
it's with good reason
D                     Gmaj7
that a jester bears a grudge
D            Gmaj7
yet with new seasons
     D                F#m    D       Gmaj7 G D
come better times and kinder ways to love

F#m         Em
you held me close
                          D
my words though sharp and scorned
              Em
and still you chose
                      D
to free me from these thorns

[outro]
Gmaj7
you knew it growth
                     D
though leaves turned brown
            G
you built a throne
                    D Em Dmaj7 D Em Dmaj7 D Em Dmaj7 D
and let me wear the crown
