            F              C              G            Am                 F                         C                        G

just unkind.          I turn my TV on, I want      to go blind.                 The words scroll through

my head and I get so  resigned.

Dark clouds forming       over foaming seas       And the notes are folding,  and the winters

F                  C                       G                            Am          F          C                G

Freezing.      We learned we steal our honey       from the bees.      I hear that buzzing every
