You are nothing but a piece of driftwood

              BB Piano Chord 
           EE Piano Chord 

But I can feel the pain and misery

And in this rut I'm stuck with roots a-pining
AA Piano Chord 
                BB Piano Chord 
            EE Piano Chord 

But I'm not a man so I must be a tree

I can't be real, yes I must be a tree
F#mF#m Piano Chord 
                  BB Piano Chord 
                   EE Piano Chord 

I bloom my spring then comes the fall that withers me
EE Piano Chord 

And through this cold I'm dormant 'til you call on me
F#mF#m Piano Chord 
              DD Piano Chord 
           EE Piano Chord 

That's why I know that I must be a tree

                                  F#F# Piano Chord 

Every month you mate our need gets bigger

                   BB Piano Chord 
             EE Piano Chord 

My heart has hardened like a knot of wood

                                    F#F# Piano Chord 

And things won't be so shady for you anymore
AA Piano Chord 
                 BB Piano Chord 
                      EE Piano Chord 

Someday this tree will branch out towards the other wood
EE Piano Chord 

I can't be real, no I must be a tree
F#mF#m Piano Chord 
                  BB Piano Chord 
                   EE Piano Chord 

I bloom my spring then comes the fall that withers me
EE Piano Chord 

And through this cold I'm dormant 'til you call on me
F#mF#m Piano Chord 
             DD Piano Chord 
           EE Piano Chord 

That's why I know that I must be a tree
