[Intro]
G C G C G C G
[Verse 1]
N.C. G C G C G
I am a seedling, whatever you do,
D Em D G C G
wherever you plant me, do it in the shade
G C G C G
Keep me safe under your careful gaze,
D Em D G C G
let every naïve leaf that stems be a memory we've made
[Refrain]
A C G C G C G C G
Every autumn night the memories start to fade
[Verse 2]
N.C. G C G C G
I am a sapling, water my roots,
D Em D G C G
take pictures of me, you can give me a name
G C G C G
Keep a journal, write in it every day,
D Em
say that I look like a stubborn tree,
D G C G
staking my claim
[Refrain]
A C G C G C G C G
If the children come to crush me, send them away
[Verse 3]
N.C. G C G C G
I am an oak tree, strong and tall,
D Em D G C G
providing you shelter, giving you hope
G C G C G
If anyone ever hangs themselves from me,
D Em D G C G
Would you cut them down, but leave the rope
[Refrain]
A C G C G C G C G
May it represent that I stood proud while others choked
[Verse 4]
N.C. G C G C G
Ohhhh, I am a bad tree, you cut me down,
D Em D G C G
take your ax to me, curse the day I was born
G C G C G
Stand on my trunk, victorious and happy,
D Em D G C G
while the tree-huggers sit on the sidelines and mourn
[Refrain]
A C G C G C G C G
Tell them all that I'll be prettier once my bark is shorn
[Verse 5]
N.C. G C G C G
I am kindling, stripped of my strength,
D Em D G C G
used to start the fires that keep you warm
G C G C G
I am rotten, sad, and damp
D Em D G C G
from the day that you left me in a pile in the midst of a storm
[Refrain]
A C G C G C G C G
Read your journal, look at your pictures, and let the tears form
