EF#
You are nothing but a piece of driftwood
ABE
But I can feel the pain and misery
F#
And in this rut I'm stuck with roots a-pining
ABE
But I'm not a man so I must be a tree
E
I can't be real, yes I must be a tree
F#mBE
I bloom my spring then comes the fall that withers me
E
And through this cold I'm dormant 'til you call on me
F#mDE
That's why I know that I must be a tree
EF#
Every month you mate our need gets bigger
ABE
My heart has hardened like a knot of wood
EF#
And things won't be so shady for you anymore
ABE
Someday this tree will branch out towards the other wood
E
I can't be real, no I must be a tree
F#mBE
I bloom my spring then comes the fall that withers me
E
And through this cold I'm dormant 'til you call on me
F#mDE
That's why I know that I must be a tree
