[Am] [D]
Standing here, [Dm] the old man said to [Bb] me, long before these [C] crowded streets, here [Am] stood my dreaming tree.
Below it [Dm] he would sit, for hours at a time.
Now progress [Am] takes away what forever took to find.
And now [Dm] his fallen heart, he [E] feels [Dm] the falling dark.
How [C] he longs to be [Am] beneath this dreaming tree.
[Dm] Conquered fear and climb, a moment frozen in time.
When the girl [C] who first he kissed, [Am] promised him she'd be his.
[Dm] Remembered mother's words, there beneath the tree.
No matter [C] what the world, [Am] he'd always been a baby.
Mommy [Dm] come quick, the dreaming tree has died.
The air [C] is growing thick, [E] the fear [Am] it cannot hide.
The dreaming [Dm] tree has died.
[A] Oh, have you [G] no pity, this [F] thing I do.
I do [D] not deny it, all [A] through this smile.
As crooked [G] as danger, do [F] not deny.
I know [D] in my mind I would [A] leave you now.
If I [G] had the strength to, I would [F] leave you all.
Talk to your [D] own devices, will you [A] not talk?
Can you [G] take pity?
Don't [D] ask much, but [C] won't you speak [A] please?

[A] From [Dm] the start, she knew she had it made.
Easy up [C] till then, [G] for sure she'd [C] make the grade.
[Dm] Adores came [G] in [Dm] hoist, to lay down in her wake.
[C] Gave it all she had, but treasure slowly faded.
[C] Now she's [Dm] falling hard, feels the fall of dark.
How did [C] this fall apart?
She drinks to fill it up.
Smile of [F] sweetest flowers, wilted so and sour.
Black tears [G] stain the trees, [C] that once were so admired.
She thinks when she [Dm] was small, there on her [Gm] father's knees.
How he [Am] had promised [C] her, he'll always be my baby.
Daddy [Dm] come quick, the dreaming tree has died.
I can't find my way [C] home, there is no place to hide.
The dreaming [Dm] tree has died.
Oh,
[A] if I had [G] the strength to, I would leave [F] you all.
Talk to your [D] own devices, will you [A] not talk?
Can you [G] take pity?
Don't [D] ask much, but won't [C] you [A] speak please?
[D] There's
[A]
[D] not [Am] much time.
[A]
[Dm]
Take me back, [F] take [E] me [Am] back, take me back.
Take [Dm] me back, take me back, take [Em] me [C] back.
Take me back, [Dm] save me please.
