2All the leaves on the Giving Tree have fallen
            D#7        G#8        Cm79
3No shade to crawl in underneath
Fm10
4I've got scars from a pocket knife
      G#11               A#m12         G#13    D#14
5Where you carved your heart into me

8If all you wanted was love
              D#17      G#18
9Why would you use me up
       C#19     D#20                      G#21    G#722

15I lie in the dead of night and I wonder
      D#33              G#34      Cm735
16Whose covers you're between
Fm36
17And it's sad laying in his bed
         G#37              A#m38                  G#39    D#40
18You feel hollow, so you crawl home back to me

           C#41          G#42
21If all you wanted was love
              D#43      G#44

28Well, I see a trail that starts
C#58                         G#59
29a line of broken hearts behind you
              D#60
30That lead you back to me
A#m61
31The once sad and lonely fool
C#62                              D#63     D#sus464 D#65
32With nothing left but roots to show, oh oh
