The Saw And The Tree

Amadd9   Am

[Verse 1]

Am      C/G            F                   Dm
In this house of wood, among the trembling leaves
Am     C        Em                    G
Voices carrying through the walls and down the street
  Am       C              F                Dm
A man will lose his head not measuring his words
Em                  G
The story goes from bad to worse

[Chorus]

        C          Am                F            C
And I'm sorry if I hurt you like the saw cuts the tree
                     Am                F
And I didn't want to bring you to your knees
   C             Am               F       Am
An instrument of ignorance facing his reality
         C                  Cm  Eb     Fsus2
'Oh, I'm sorry' - cried the saw to the tree

[Verse 2]

       Am      C               F               Dm
And I let you down, I tried to cut you down to size
         Am     C           Em       G
There'll always be a battle when you hate to compromise
Am          C            F              Dm
I tore your world apart when I bared my teeth
Em                   G
Now I know what lies underneath

[Chorus]

        C          Am                F            C
And I'm sorry if I hurt you like the saw cuts the tree
                     Am                F
And I didn't want to bring you to your knees
   C             Am               F       Am
An instrument of ignorance facing his reality
         C                  Cm  Eb     Fsus2
'Oh, I'm sorry' - cried the saw to the tree

[Chorus]

        C          Am                F            C
And I'm sorry if I hurt you like the saw cuts the tree
                     Am                F
And I didn't want to bring you to your knees
   C             Am               F       Am
An instrument of ignorance facing his reality
         C                  Cm  Eb     Fsus2
'Oh, I'm sorry' - cried the saw to the tree

[Instrumental]

C    Am   Fadd9    C    Eb   F   Fadd9

[Chorus]

        C              Am              F              C
There's no use blaming anyone least of all the family tree
                       Am         F
It all starts now with this brutality
  C               Am                F        Am
A prisoner of his own device making his apology
         C                  Cm  Cm/Eb Eb  F
'Oh, I'm sorry' - cried the saw
       C
To the tree
