[Verse]

Em G

All the leaves on the Giving Tree have fallen

D* G Bm7

No shade to crawl in underneath

Em

I've got scars from a pocket knife

G Am G D

Where you carved your heart into 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

Em7 C D G

Settle down, build a home, and make you happy?

[Verse 2]

Em G

I lie in the dead of night and I wonder

D* G Bm7

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

Em7 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 Dsus4 D

With nothing left but roots to show, oh oh

[Chorus]

If all you wanted was love

Why would you use me up

Settle down, build a home, and make you happy?
