Em          G6            A
Can't stop thinking 'bout it
Em           A    Bm7
It fills me with unease
Em                         G6        A
Out there by the roadside someone's lyin'
D               Em
Under sycamore leaves

Em            G6        A
Wet grounds, late September
Em                  A   Bm7
The foliage of the trees
Em                        G6             A
I came upon this feeling that someone's lying
F#      G6           Em
Covered by sycamore leaves

F#                 D   Em
And I could never make it
F#           D     Em
And I could never see
F#                 D      A
And I could never break out
          G6    B     Em
And shake its grip on me

Can't stop thinking 'bout it
It fills me with unease
Out there by the roadside someone's lyin'
Covered by sycamore leaves
