SWEETNESS FOLLOWS

Tune down one whole step : DGCFAD

INTRO: E5

E5

Readying to bury your father and your mother

What did you think when you lost another?

I used to wonder, why did you bother?

Distanced from one, blind to to the other.

Listen here, my sister and my brother.

What would you care if you lost the other?

I always wonder why did we bother?

Distanced from one, deaf to the other.

G6 A6sus4 G6 A6sus2

Oh, oh, but sweetness follows.

E5

It's these little things, they can pull you under.

Live your life filled with joy and wonder

I always knew this all together thunder was lost in our little lives.

G6 A6sus4 G6 A6sus2

Oh, oh, but sweetness follows.

G6 A6sus4 G6 A6sus2

Oh, oh, but sweetness follows.
