                  C
Well, there's a story I would like to tell
                            A#
But I don't know where to begin
             C
Well, it's pretty on the surface
         F
But it doesn't have an end
         C      G            C  A# C
Like a tree on fire from within

I called up Mary to see how she's been
She said she's never really had a friend
Sure there's many folks around me
But nobody truly found me
Like a tree on fire from within

And Holy Moses can ring a bell
Doesn't matter if it's gold or tin
The news inside it means so much
Even if it turns to dust
Like a tree on fire from within

And violet roses give such a scent
And it doesn't matter how long it's been
Even a dead rose is a good rose
You only have to see one to know
Like a tree on fire from within
