Intro: Em G Am G F#m  

Em                                     G 
All the leaves on the Giving Tree have fallen 
            D             G    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 

           C          G 
If all you wanted was love 
              D   B  G 
Why would you use me up 
       C     D                      G         
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? 

Em                               G     
I lie in the dead of night and I wonder 
      D             G      F# 
Whose covers you're between 
Em 
And it's sad laying in his bed 
         G              D                  G    D 
You feel hollow, so you crawl home back to me 

           C          G 
If all you wanted was love 
              D   B  G 
Why would you use me up 
       C     D                      G         
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? 
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 

           C          G 
If all you wanted was love 
              D   B  G 
Why would you use me up 
       C     D                      G         
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? 

(One Strum per chord) 
       C             D                  G 
Settle down, build a home, and make you happy?
