Em G Am G D/F#
[Verse]
Em G
All the leaves on the Giving Tree have fallen
Am G D/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
[Chorus]
C G
If all you wanted was love
D B G
Why would you use me up
C D G G7
Cut me down, build a boat, and sail away
C G B Em
When all I wanted to be was your giving tree
D C D G
Settle down, build a home, and make you happy?
[Verse]
Em G
I lie in the dead of night and I wonder
Am G F#
Whose covers you're between
Em
And it's sad laying in his bed
G Am G D
You feel hollow, so you crawl home back to me
[Chorus]
C G
If all you wanted was love
D G
Why would you use me up
C D G G7
Cut me down, build a boat, and sail away
C G B Em
When all I wanted to be was your giving tree
D C D G
Settle down, build a home, and make you happy?
[Bridge]
Am
Well, I see a trail that starts
C G
A line of broken hearts behind you
D
That lead you back to me
Am
The once sad and lonely fool
C D D4 D
With nothing left but roots to show, oh oh
[Chorus]
C G
If all you wanted was love
D G
Why would you use me up
C D G G7
Cut me down, build a boat, and sail away
C G B Em
When all I wanted to be was your giving tree
D C D G
Settle down, build a home, and make you happy?
C* D* G*
Settle down, build a home, and make you happy?
