The Giving Tree
 
Capo 3:
 
Dm, F, G5, F, A/G
 
Dm                                     F
  All the leaves on the giving tree have fallen,
 
            G5                           F A/G
no shade to crawl in                underneath.
 
Dm                                         F
  I've got scars from the pocket knife where you carved
 
G5                                F A/G
your heart                   into me.
 
Chorus:
 
           Bb         F              C          F
If all you wanted was love why would you use me up,
 
       Bb            C               F
cut me down, build a boat, and sail away?
 
           Bb        F      A/G         Dm
When all I wanted to be was your giving tree,
 
       Bb            C                  F
settle down, build a home, and make you happy.
 
Verse 2:
Dm                                      F
  Well I lie in the dead of night and I wonder
 
      G5                       F  A/G
who's covers            your between.
 
Dm                                        F
   And it's sad lying in his bed you feel hollow
 
       G5                         F  A/G
so you crawl home         back to me.
 
Chorus:
          Bb         F              C          F
If all you wanted was love why would you use me up,
 
       Bb            C               F
cut me down, build a boat, and sail away?
 
           Bb        F      A/G         Dm
When all I wanted to be was your giving tree,
 
       Bb            C                  F
settle down, build a home, and make you happy.
 
Bridge:
G5                               Bb5
  Well I see a trail that starts    a line of broken hearts 
 
  F                        C
Behind you   that lead you back to me. 
 
G5                       Bb5
  One sad and lonely fool    with nothing left but rules
 
   C
to show you               Ohhhhhhhhhhh!  
 
Chorus:
 
           Bb         F              C          F
If all you wanted was love why would you use me up,
 
       Bb            C               F
cut me down, build a boat, and sail away?
 
           Bb        F      A/G         Dm
When all I wanted to be was your giving tree,
 
       Bb            C                  F
settle down, build a home, and make you happy.
 
       Bb                C                  F
Settle Down      Build a home  and make you happy.
