[Intro 1]
[Em][Em][G][G]
[Am][Am][G][D]

[Verse 1]
[Em]All the leaves
on the giving tree have [G]fallen
No shade to [Am]crawl in under[G]neath[D]
[Em]I've got scars from a pocket knife
Where [G]you carved
[Am]your heart into [G]me[D]

[Chorus 1]
If all you [C]wanted was [G]love
Why would you [D]use me [G]up
Cut me [C]down, build a [D]boat,
and sail a[G]way
When all I [C]wanted to [G]be
was [B]your giving [Em]tree
[D]Settle [C]down, build a [D]home,
and make you [G]happy?

[Verse 2]
[Em]I lie in the dead of night and I wonde[G]r
Whose [Am]covers you're be[G]tween[D]
[Em]And it's sad laying in his bed
You feel [G]hollow,
so you [Am]crawl home back to [G]me[D]

[Chorus 2]
If all you [C]wanted was [G]love
Why would you [D]use me [G]up
Cut me [C]down, build a [D]boat,
and sail a[G]way
When all I [C]wanted to [G]be
was [B]your giving [Em]tree
[D]Settle [C]down, build a [D]home,
and make you [G]happy?

[Bridge 1]
[Am]Well, I see a trail that starts
[C]A line of broken hearts behin[G]d you
That lead you [D]back to me
[Am]The once sad and lonely fool
[C]With nothing left but roots to sho[D]w, oh

[Chorus 3]
If all you [C]wanted was [G]love
Why would you [D]use me [G]up
Cut me [C]down, build a [D]boat,
and sail a[G]way
When all I [C]wanted to [G]be
was [B]your giving [Em]tree
[D]Settle [C]down, build a [D]home,
and make you [G]happy?

[Outro 1]
Settle [C]down, build a [D]home,
and make you [G]happy?
