[Verse 1]
D              G/B               G/A                   G
 Black tree, remember me, from the time when we used to talk?
D              G/B                        G/A          G
 How strange, things have changed I don't know you anymore
          D                    G/B           G/A              G
But you stayed the same that's why I came, I need your clarity
       D                 G/B              G/A        G
'Cause I find peace as I sit beneath your familiarity

[Verse 2]
D              G/B                G/A             G
 Black tree, remember me, I'm the one who moved away
D           G/B             G/A              G
 Yeah, I know I've grown so much since yesterday
          D                    G/B           G/A             G
And it's been so long that it feels wrong to ask anything of you
     D                   G/B             G/A               G
But I'm more lost than I ever was and I need to know your truth


[Interlude]
D   G/B   G/A   G


[Verse 3]
D              G/B      G/A            G
 Black tree, remember me, I hoped you might
D         G/B            A                  G
 I was sure you saw me running through the night
   D                      G/B                G/A            G
So I cried out, yeah, I screamed so loud for you to rescue me
    D              G/B        G/A             G
But I was found without a sound in your company


[Interlude]
D   G/B   G/A   G


      D  G/B  G/A  G
Company,  yeah,  yeah


[Verse 4]
D             G/B       G/A              G
 Black tree remember me for the rest of time
D        G/B       G/A                G
 When I go I now they'll lay me by your side
        D                       G/B      G/A                   G
'Cause you stand tall, will you ever fall, I know you never will
     D                G/B   G/A              G
Oh, I'll be free for eternity on the other side
         D    G/B   G/A    G
