I looked at three different videos of the band playing this, it's pretty accurate. Capo 3rd fret Intro and Verses played on top four strings Chorus: A# and F barre chords, other open Bridge: all barre chords except C Tempo: ~76 [Intro] Dm F Gm F C/E [Verse] Dm F All the leaves on the Giving Tree have fallen Gm F C/E No shade to crawl in underneath Dm I've got scars from a pocket knife F Gm F C/E Where you carved your heart into me [Chorus] A# F If all you wanted was love C F Why would you use me up A# C F F7 Cut me down, build a boat, and sail away A# F A7 Dm C When all I wanted to be was your giving tree A# C F Settle down, build a home, and make you happy? [Verse 2] Dm F I lie in the dead of night and I wonder Gm F C/E Whose covers you're between Dm And it's sad laying in his bed F Gm F C/E You feel hollow, so you crawl home back to me [Chorus] A# F If all you wanted was love C F Why would you use me up A# C F F7 Cut me down, build a boat, and sail away A# F A7 Dm C When all I wanted to be was your giving tree A# C F Settle down, build a home, and make you happy? [Bridge] Gm Well, I see a trail that starts A# F A line of broken hearts behind you C C7? That lead you back to me Gm The once sad and lonely fool A# C [C7] With nothing left but roots to show, oh oh [Chorus] (Single strum per chord) A# F If all you wanted was love C F Why would you use me up (Resume regular picking) A# C F F7 Cut me down, build a boat, and sail away A# F A7 Dm C When all I wanted to be was your giving tree A# C F Settle down, build a home, and make you happy? (Single Strum per chord) A# C F Settle down, build a home, and make you happy?
