Intro
Em G Am G F#m
Em G
All the leaves on the Giving Tree have fallen
D G F#
No shade to crawl in underneath
Em
I've got scars from a pocket knife
G Am Em D
Where you carved your heart into me
C G
If all you wanted was love
D B G
Why would you use me up
C D G
Cut me down, build a boat, and sail away
C G B Em
When all I wanted to be was your giving tree
Em7 C D G
Settle down, build a home, and make you happy?
Em G
I lie in the dead of night and I wonder
D G F#
Whose covers you're between
Em
And it's sad laying in his bed
G D G D
You feel hollow, so you crawl home back to me
