Sam And The Trees

E                                 
They cut down the trees in the 
   B
yard today
A                                 
The new landlord came over to take
      B
 them away.

Now a few branches are all that 
         E
remain
                             B
Sam’s never owned a house before
A
I can’t really blame him
                     B  C#m
He just wants to be sure his 
foundation's protected
B           A               E
And his investment’s secure


E                                 
Seems like something’s gone wrong 
                         B
the past couple of weeks

I hear the difference in the way 
that you speak
B  C#m
The way you roll over and turn out 
the lights
B             A                E
Without saying goodnight to me

E                                 
When you close your eyes and think
              B
 of forever
A
Do you picture the life that we’re 
building together?
B C#m
Or does the thought of your freedom
                       B         
Out there on your own seem better 
                        A
and better and better?

of the shade
