Intro
G
Verse 1
G
And you told me you were sorry and you did not want to pray
You looked outside your window as I went outside and waved
C
The street, it was much warmer on my bare feet than the rain
G
That fell out of the sky just like my thoughts fell from that day (Oohs)
Verse 2
G
I poured out one more hand full of the rain that fell that day
I collected in my spare time as I walked back home that May
C
On the night you said you're sorry, on the night my colors changed
G
I waved to you from outside as you screamed of all my shame
Pre-chorus
C G
I'll never leave, I'll always stay, I swear on all that I keep safe
C G
I'll never leave, I'll always stay, I swear on all that I keep safe
Interlude (Same chords as verses)
Chorus
G
A tree I'll grow to let you know my love is older than my soul
A tree I'll grow to let you know my love is older than my soul
C
A tree I'll grow to let you know my love is older than my soul
G
A tree I'll grow to let you know my love is older than my soul
Verse 3
G
Brutal smile, your well-known face, your tapping shoes, your wicked grace
Your precious time, your darker days, the days I left you with no space
C
To breathe or even think of me without the worry that I'd always leave
Pre-chorus
G
I'll never leave, I'll always stay, I swear on all that I keep safe
I'll never leave, I'll always stay, I swear on all that I keep safe
I'll never leave, I'll always stay, I swear on all that I keep safe
C
I'll never leave, I'll always stay, I swear on all that I keep safe
G (strumming starts)
I'll never leave, I'll always stay, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear
Bridge? (2x, loud strumming)
G
But it gets harder and harder
C
But my love is older than my soul
G
But my love is older than my soul
Chorus (Back to picking)
G
A tree I'll grow to let you know my love is older than my soul
A tree I'll grow to let you know my love is older than my soul
C
A tree I'll grow to let you know my love is older than my soul
G
A tree I'll grow to let you know my love is older than my soul
