feel the wind burn through my skin
Em7/D [ ch ] A7/D [ /Ch ] D
the pain , the air is killing me

Em7/D [ ch ] A7/D [ /Ch ] D
my sap was rich and i was strong
D [ ch ] F#m/D [ /Ch ] Em7/D D7
from seed to tree i grew so tall
Em7/D [ ch ] A7/D [ /Ch ] D
through wind and rain i could not fall
G A7 A#dim Bm D7 Em
but now my branches suffer and my leaves don’t offer
