The Table Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Looking at a table
Wondering what type of wood
it's made of
Wondering exactly which tree gave itself
And [F#m]more imp[F#]ortantly

[Verse 2]
[E]Who sat[Em] beneath that tree?
Which lovers carved [A]initials?
What [D]happened on the ground around it?
Who walked on the leaves surrounding?

[Verse 3]
And where are those lovers [D]now?
Are they still with us? Hopefully
Did that tree mean much to them?
Was it their place to [F#]go in spring?

[Verse 4]
Or [E]summer when the sun came [Em]out?
Autumn [A]walks amongst the leaves
[D]I hope they know my table made me
Think of them and help me see

[Verse 5]
Much [G]more than just a table
The people I won't get to meet
[D]At least I got[F#m] more out of it
Than just somewhere to [F#]sit and eat

[Verse 6]
Or [G]to converse with someone else
Two folks between coffee
Now there's [Em]two more people sat down
On a [A]once sat under tree

[Verse 7]
[D]Ah
Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa

[Verse 8]
Looking at a stranger [D]Wondering
what kind of life
have they got
Wondering exactly what
they're going through
And [F#]where they're going to

[Verse 9]
[E]What do they care about?
And whereabouts do they go [D]out
To let loose pre the stressful mornings?
Do they feel their job is boring?

[Verse 10]
And do they know how [D]it feels
To fall in love uncontrollably?
Have they found their purpose or
The person that they'd [F#]like to be?
[E]Around for months on end and spend
Days and nights there endlessly
[A]I hop[D]e they've met someone
who gives them
Everything they truly need

[Verse 11]
They [G]may just [D]be a stranger
[G]But I see strangers constantly
[D]We have so muc[F#m]h in common and
Yet not [F#]enough for us to speak

[Verse 12]
I [G]watch the stranger walk away
They stop and look back at me
I can't [Em]tell if I'm the stranger
[E]Sometimes I feel like [D]the tree
Ah Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa

[Verse 13]
[D]Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa
(Yeah)
Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa

[Outro 1]
(Yeah, yeah)
[D]
