[Verse 1]
(this section is played with a bass line but you can use these chords to mimic it)
C5 C A#5
Trees will make a forest, trees will make a bow
C5 C A#5
These are all the harder words you have to know
C5 C A#5
If everyone's a structure where their own savior sits
C5 C A#5
I'm a little red house, but no one's living here

Where are all the seedlings we grew for violins?
