[Verse 1]
N.C. F# B F# B F#
I am a seedling, whatever you do,
C# D#m C# F# B F#
wherever you plant me, do it in the shade

Keep me safe under your careful gaze,
C# D#m C# F# B F#
let every naïve leaf that stems be a memory we've made

Every autumn night the memories start to fade

I am a sapling, water my roots,

take pictures of me, you can give me a name

Keep a journal, write in it every day,
C# D#m
say that I look like a stubborn tree,
C# F# B F#
staking my claim
[Refrain]

If the children come to crush me, send them away

I am an oak tree, strong and tall,
C# D#m C# F# B F#
providing you shelter, giving you hope

If anyone ever hangs themselves from me,
C# D#m C# F# B F#
Would you cut them down, but leave the rope
[Refrain]

May it represent that I stood proud while others choked
[Verse 4]

take your ax to me, curse the day I was born

Stand on my trunk, victorious and happy,
C# D#m C# F# B F#
while the tree-huggers sit on the sidelines and mourn
[Refrain]

Tell them all that I'll be prettier once my bark is shorn

I am kindling, stripped of my strength,
C# D#m C# F# B F#
used to start the fires that keep you warm
F# B F# B F#
I am rotten, sad, and damp
C# D#m C# F# B F#
from the day that you left me in a pile in the midst of a storm
[Refrain]
G# B F# B F# B F# B F#
Read your journal, look at your pictures, and let the tears form
