Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Bb][Am][Bb][Am][Bb][Am][Bb]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
Take a look at the [Bb]oak t[Am]rees
In the park standing [Bb]tall
[Am]Like a tower of resili[Bb]ence
Despite [Am]the leaves [Bb]that [Gm]fall.

[Verse 2]
[Am]Stripping them back to their
[Bb]Fraught [Am]frames, all naked
And on dis[Bb]play. [Am]Like us they
dress for the sea[Bb]son.
It will [Am]soon be spring [Bb]again.

[Verse 3]
[Chorus] [Gm]But
[Dm]you [Am]and I w[G]ere n[Gm]ot de
[Dm]signed to [Am]be evergreens I guess
[G]Tha[Gm]t it'[Am]s time to[Gm]
long for April [C]to come.

[Verse 4]
[F]
Am I willing to [Am]wait here [Bb]again?
Although I'm [C]hungry and I'm tired
[F]And all the bridges I made
[Am]on the w[Bb]ay
Are quickly [C]turning into fires
[Am]And as the embers are [Bb]growing
[Am]and no phoenix emerg[Bb]e
[Am]I guess another set back[Bb] is anothe[Am]r lesson learn[Bb]t.

[Interlude 1]
[Gm][Am][Dm][Bb][Am]
[Dm][Am][Bb][Am][Bb][Dm][Am][Gm][Am][Bb][Dm]
[Am][Bb][Am][Bb][Am][Bb][Gm]

[Verse 5]
[Am]Let's strip it back to
[Bb]the bare [Dm]bones,
[Am]Though not a matter of c[Bb]hoice,
[Am]There's still something of w[Bb]orth
In just [Dm]an a[Am]coustic and a [Bb]voice.
[Am]As the new shoots start grow[Bb]ing[Dm][Am]
At the start of [Bb]the year,
[Am]The tree is ready to d[Bb]eliver
Despite ini[Am]tial [Bb]fears.

[Interlude 2]
[Bb][Gm][Am][G][Am]
[G][Gm][Am][Gm][C][F]

[Verse 6]
[Chorus] Am I willing [Am]to wait
here [Bb]again?
Al[C]though I'm hungry and I'm tired
[F]And all the bridges I made
[Am]on the w[Bb]ay
[C]Are quickly turning into fires
[Am]And as the embers are [Bb]growing
[Am]and no phoenix emerg[Bb]e
[Am]I guess another set back[Bb] is
just an[Am]other lesson [Bb]learnt.
