Key: Bm
Introduction: Bm G F#m
Bm A F#m
I don&rsquo t live in a time
G D Em
Where the truth prevails
Bm A F#m
Things just seem to happen
G D Em
On an escalating scale
Bm A F#m
They play you for a fool
G D Em
To weaken your resolve
Bm A F#m
Drowning you in details
G D Em
To make you miss the whole
Bm F# D E
Sunbeams and forget-me-nots
Bm F# D E
Beads of amber, parking lots
Bm F# D E
From your view you see a lot
G D A
What you really see
G A7 Em
Forest for the trees
Bm A F#m
I don&rsquo t live in a world
G D Em
Big on clarity
Bm A F#m
The way it&rsquo s coming at us
G D Em
So relentlessly
Bm A F#m
Where does one thing end
G D Em
And the next one start
Bm A F#m
And where to begin
G D Em
To keep it all apart
Bm F# D E
Sunbeams and forget-me-nots
Bm F# D E
Keys are in the flower pot
Bm F# D E
A rider brings his horse to trot
G D A
All is lost on me
G A7 Em
Forest for the trees
Bm F# D E
Sunbeams & forget-me-nots
Bm F# D E
Awoken by a rifle shot
Bm F# D E
From your view you see a lot
G D A
But never the whole piece
G A7 Em
Forest for the trees
Bm F# D E
We&rsquo re running out of movie-plots
Bm F# D E
Your stomach&rsquo s tied into a knot
Bm F# D E
Crackles as the needle drops
G D A
On a somber melody
G D A
A heartbreak elegy
G D A
Unsurprisingly
G A7 Em
Called &lsquo Forest for the trees&rsquo
