The Giving Tree
Capo 3:
Dm, F, G5, F, A/G

no shade to crawl in underneath.

I've got scars from the pocket knife where you carved
G5 F A/G
your heart into me.
Chorus:
Bb F C F
If all you wanted was love why would you use me up,
Bb C F
cut me down, build a boat, and sail away?
Bb F A/G Dm
When all I wanted to be was your giving tree,
Bb C F
settle down, build a home, and make you happy.
Verse 2:
Dm F
Well I lie in the dead of night and I wonder

who's covers your between.
Dm F
And it's sad lying in his bed you feel hollow
G5 F A/G
so you crawl home back to me.

If all you wanted was love why would you use me up,
Bb C F
cut me down, build a boat, and sail away?

Bridge:

Well I see a trail that starts a line of broken hearts

Behind you that lead you back to me.

One sad and lonely fool with nothing left but rules

to show you Ohhhhhhhhhhh!

If all you wanted was love why would you use me up,

cut me down, build a boat, and sail away?

settle down, build a home, and make you happy.
