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
