[Verse 1]
Fadd9 F7 Gm7
If a tree falls in love with a river
Gm F#aug Bb/F C7/E
‘Cause the sun makes her golden and bright
Dm Dm/B C
Can the tree understand and forgive her
Bb F Gm F C F C
For the darkness she carries at night?
Bb F Gm F C F
For the darkness she carries at night?
[Verse 2]
Eb6 Ab7 G7
If the spring makes her eyes green with laughter
Cm7 Baug Eb/Bb F7/A
And the winds brush her hair from the skies
Ddim7 C
Will he love her as well moments after
Bb F Gm F C F C
In the winter when everything dies?
Bb F Gm F C F
In the wintеr when everything diеs?
[Verse 3]
Dm Gm C
And would he notice her face when it changes
Dm Ab EbM7
And her water turns into a sea?
D7 Gm F#aug Bb/F C7/E
Or would he deem her a liar, a stranger?
Bb F Gm F C F C
Praise forever who she used to be?
Bb F Gm F C F
Praise forever who she used to be?

[Verse 4]
Fadd9 F7 Gm
’Cause a tree stands too still for a river
Gm F#aug Bb/F C7/E
And a river’s too wild for a tree
Dm Dm/B C
Would he cut off his roots to be with her?
Bb F Gm F C F C
Would she ever give up on the sea?
Bb F Gm F C F
Would she ever give up on the sea?
[Verse 5]
Eb6 Ab G7
Would he aim to maintain his desire
Cm7 Baug Eb/Bb F7/A
For a swamp that can no longer dance?
Ddim7 C
If he were to be thrown in the fire
Bb F Gm F C F C
In her eyes, he would not stand a chance
Bb F Gm F C F
In her eyes, he would not stand a chance
[Verse 6]
Dm Gm C
But in the fall, he could stand from a distance
Dm Ab EbM7
Leaves of red so they dance on her hairs
D7 Gm F#aug Bb/F C7/E
And she could show him proof of her existence
Bb F Gm F C F C
When the summer rain kisses his lips
Bb F Gm F C F
When the summer rain kisses his lips
[Outro]
N.C.
‘Cause a tree stands too still for a river
N.C.
And a river is too wild for a tree
Dm Dm/B C
He would not cut his roots to be with her
Bb F Gm F C F C
And she’d never give up on the sea
Bb F Gm F C F
She would never give up on the sea
