Fm G# All the leaves on the Giving Tree have fallen A#m G# D# No shade to crawl in underneath Fm I've got scars from a pocket knife G# A#m G# D# Where you carved your heart into me Chorus: C# G# If all you wanted was love D# G# Why would you use me up C# D# G# G#7 Cut me down, build a boat, and sail away C# G# C7 Fm D# When all I wanted to be was your giving tree C# D# G# Settle down, build a home, and make you happy? I lie in the dead of night and I wonder Whose covers you're between And it's sad laying in his bed You feel hollow, so you crawl home back to me Chorus A#m Well, I see a trail that starts C# G# A line of broken hearts behind you D# That lead you back to me A#m The once sad and lonely fool C# D# With nothing left but roots to show, oh oh Chorus | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA#m C# C7 D# Fm G# G#7 Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
