Intro (2x): D Em

Verse:
D
Speak, baby speak - Tell me I'm weak
Em
Tell me these promises are not mine to keep
D
Tell me I'm ugly ... But tell me you love me
Em
Tell me you cannot go through this world without me

Chorus:
   D                  Em
Oh I - I - I'm just a tree ... 
   D
My roots are with her ... 
       Em
but my leaves are falling.

Verse:
D
Heal, baby heal ... Take all the time you will
Em
I never thought I'd say this but I'm letting go of the bill
D
I don't wanna see ... your face here no more
Em
still that doesn't mean that I'm shutting the door

Chorus:
   D                  Em    
Oh I - I - I'm just a tree ... 
   D 
My leaves are with her ... 
       Em
But my roots are buried with thee

I know these words are tearing you apart
                                  D
Still I told you, right from the start
