	DmStanding (xx0231@1)here
		BbThe (x1333x@1)old man said to me,
			C"Long (x32010@1)before these crowded streets
			AmHere (x02210@1)stood my dreaming tree."
		DmBelow (xx0231@1)it he would sit
		BbFor (x1333x@1)hours at a time
		CNow (x32010@1)progress takes away
			AmWhat (x02210@1)forever took to find
		DmAnd (xx0231@1)now he's falling hard
		BbHe (x1333x@1)feels the falling dark
		CHow (x32010@1)he longs to be
		AmBeneath (x02210@1)his dreaming tree
		DmConquered (xx0231@1)fear to climb
		BbA (x1333x@1)moment froze in time
		C (x32010@1)When the girl who first he kissed
		AmPromised (x02210@1)him she'd be his
		DmRemembered (xx0231@1)mother's words
		BbThere (x1333x@1)beneath the tree
		C"No (x32010@1)matter what the world
		AmYou'll (x02210@1)always be my baby."
		Dm"Mommy (xx0231@1)come quick,
		BbThe (x1333x@1)dreaming tree has died."
		CThe (x32010@1)air is growing thick
		AmA (x02210@1)fear he cannot hide

From the start
She knew she had it made
Easy up 'til then
For sure she'd make the grade
Adorers came in hordes
To lay down in her wake
Gave it all she had
But treasures slowly fade
Now she's falling hard
Feels the fall of dark
How did this fall apart?
She drinks to fill it up
A smile of sweetest flowers
Wilted so and soured
Black tears stain the cheeks
That once were so admired
She thinks when she was small
There on her father's knee
How he had promised her,
"You'll always be my baby."
"Daddy come quick,
The dreaming tree has died
I can't find my way home
There is no place to hide
The dreaming tree has died."

Oh, if I had the strength to
I would leave you up
To your own devices
Will you not talk?
Can you take pity?
I don't ask much
But won't you speak, please?
