Verse 1:
E              A/C#               B                    A
  Black tree remember me from the time when we used to talk?
E              A/C#                        B           A
  How strange, things have changed I don't know you anymore
        E                      A/C#          B              A
But you stayed the same that's why I came, I need your clarity
     E                 A/C#            B           A
'Cos I find peace as I sit beneath your familiarity
 

Verse 2:
E              A/C#               B              A
  Black tree remember me? I'm the one who moved away
E            A/C#           B                A 
  Yeah I know I've grown so much since yesterday
         E                 A/C#              B               A     
And it's been so long that it feels wrong to ask anything of you
    E                   A/C#            B                 A    
But I'm more lost than I ever was and I need to know your truth


Verse 3:
E              A/C#      B            A 
  Black tree remember me? I hoped you might
E           A/C#        B                   A
  I was sure you saw me running through the night
   E                   A/C#                 B             A
So I cried out, yeah I screamed so loud for you to rescue me
    E               A/C#           B         A 
But I was found without a sound in your company y-y

Verse 4:
E              A/C#      B               A 
  Black tree remember me for the rest of time
E          A/C#         B              A 
  When I go I hope they lay me by your side
     E                       A/C#       B                   A 
'Cos you stand tall, will you ever fall? I know you never will
E                   A/C#   B               A 
You'll be free for eternity on the other side


         E    A/C#    B    A
