[Fm]
[Ab] All [Bbm]
[Ab] [Eb] [Fm] the leaves on the giving tree have [Ab] fallen No [Bbm] shade to crawl in [Ab] underneath
[Eb] [Fm] I've got scars from a pocket [Ab] knife where you carved [Bbm] your heart [Fm] into [Eb] me
[Db] If all you wanted [Ab] was love, [Eb] why would you [Ab] use me up?
[Db] Cut me down, [Eb] build a boat, [Ab] and sail away When [Db] all I wanted [Ab] to be
[C] was your [Fm] giving [Eb] tree [Db] Settle down, [Eb] build a home, [Ab] and make you happy
[Fm] I lie in the dead of night and [Ab] I wonder [Bbm] Whose comfort [Fm] you're [Eb] between
[Fm] It's sad laying in his bed, you [Ab] feel hollow So [Bbm] you crawl home, [Fm] back to me
[Eb] If [Db] all you wanted [Ab] was love, why would you [Eb] [Ab] use me up?
[Db] Cut me down, [Ab] build a [Eb] boat, [Ab] and sail away When [Db] all I wanted [Ab] to be [C] was your [Fm] giving [Eb] tree
[Db] Settle down, [Eb] build a home, and [Ab] make you happy
[Bbm] I see a trail that starts A line of broken [Ab] hearts behind you
Lead [Eb] you back to [Bbm] me The one sad and lonely [Db] fool
With nothing left but [Eb] roots to show
If [Db] all you wanted [Ab] was love, [Eb] why would you [Ab] use me up?
[Db] Cut me down, [Eb] build a boat, [Ab] and sail away When [Db] all I wanted [Ab] to be [Fm] was [C] your [Fm] giving [Eb] tree
[Db] Settle down, [Eb] build a home, and [Ab] make you happy
[Db] Settle down, [Eb] build a home, [Ab] and make you happy
