Dm F Gm F C/A
[Verse]
Dm F
All the leaves on the Giving Tree have fallen
Gm F C/A
No shade to crawl in underneath
Dm
I've got scars from a pocket knife
F Gm F C/A
Where you carved your heart into me
[Chorus]
A# F
If all you wanted was love
C F
Why would you use me up
A# C F F7
Cut me down, build a boat, and sail away
A# F A7 Dm C
When all I wanted to be was your giving tree
A# C F
Settle down, build a home, and make you happy?
[Verse 2]
Dm F
I lie in the dead of night and I wonder
Gm F C/A
Whose covers you're between
Dm
And it's sad laying in his bed
F Gm F C/A
You feel hollow, so you crawl home back to me
[Chorus]
A# F
If all you wanted was love
C F
Why would you use me up
A# C F F7
Cut me down, build a boat, and sail away
A# F A7 Dm C
When all I wanted to be was your giving tree
A# C F
Settle down, build a home, and make you happy?
[Bridge]
Gm
Well, I see a trail that starts
A# F
A line of broken hearts behind you
C [C7?]
That lead you back to me
Gm
The once sad and lonely fool
A# C [C7]
With nothing left but roots to show, oh oh
[Chorus]
(Single strum per chord)
A# F
If all you wanted was love
C F
Why would you use me up
(Resume regular picking)
A# C F F7
Cut me down, build a boat, and sail away
A# F A7 Dm C
When all I wanted to be was your giving tree
A# C F
Settle down, build a home, and make you happy?
(Single Strum per chord)
A# C F
Settle down, build a home, and make you happy?
