Chasing after deer
intro: D
A G
Yes, I'm sorry that I missed you
Em7 D
I'm sorry that I missed you
A G
when there's no one there to greet you
Em7 D
I'm sorry that I missed you
D Em7
you're always chasing after deer
D
oh my dear, oh my dear
D Em7
and through the meadow I can hear
G D
my fears, oh, my fears
G D
for myself I must remind
G
that the woods are usually kind
D
and the sea is not mine
G
and when you're all alone
D
and chasing after deer
G
don't be upset if it's scared
D
and you can't reach it
G
I know that you are fast
D
but it's much faster
G
and after a while you can't keep up
D
so you start to lag behind
G
but it doesn't know
D
that you've resigned
G
so off a cliff
D
it falls to the sea
G
and you are sad
D
but the sea is not mine
G
the sea is not mine
D
the sea is not mine
G
the sea is not mine
D
the sea is not mine
