[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G
And you told me you were sorry and you did not want to pray
G
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
G
Oohs
[Verse 2]
G
I poured out one more hand full of the rain that fell that day
G
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
G G C G
[Chorus]
G
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
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
G
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
G
I'll never leave, I'll always stay, I swear on all that I keep safe
G
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
I'll never leave, I'll always stay, I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear
[Bridge]
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]
G
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
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
