Sweetness Follows

Words & Music:

R.E.M.

 

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 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.

 

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

Live your life filled with joy and wonder.

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

Oh, oh, but sweetness follows.

Oh, oh, but sweetness follows.

 

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

Live your life filled with joy and thunder.

Yeah, yeah we were all together lost in our little lives.

Oh, oh, but sweetness follows.

Oh, oh, but sweetness follows.
