--------
D              G/B               G/A                   G
 Black tree, remember me, from the time when we used to talk?
D              G/B                        G/A          G
 How strange, things have changed I don't know you anymore
          D                    G/B           G/A              G
But you stayed the same that's why I came, I need your clarity
       D                 G/B              G/A        G
'Cause I find peace as I sit beneath your familiarity

          D                    G/B           G/A             G     
And it's been so long that it feels wrong to ask anything of you
     D                   G/B             G/A               G

 Black tree, remember me, I hoped you might
D         G/B            A                  G
 I was sure you saw me running through the night
   D                      G/B                G/A            G
So I cried out, yeah, I screamed so loud for you to rescue me

But I was found without a sound in your company

        D                       G/B      G/A                   G 
'Cause you stand tall, will you ever fall, I know you never will
