The Oak Tree (CHORDS) by Emily Hearn
C F C
Kickin' the dust up,, I'm wearin' out my shoes
C
I can't make my mind up,, I've got too much to lose
F
I'm old enough to leave home,,
C
but way too young to know what I should do
G
I'm treadin' water,,
F C
I'm tryna keep my head above the ground
C
So would you come with me up to the Oak tree
F
time will stop for us again
C
look back remember when
When we just 18 under the Oak tree
F
safer than we'd ever been
C
hold onto innocence
C F C
Where has the time gone,, I'm feelin' old and gray
Tryna breathe revival into my broken ways
F
I'm old enough to leave home,,
C
but way too young to carry all the blame
G
I'm treadin' water,,
F C
I'm tryna keep my head above the ground
So would you come with me up to the Oak tree
F
time will stop for us again
C
look back remember when
When we just 18 under the Oak tree
F
safer than we'd ever been
C
hold onto innocence
G..? F
We were young,, oh we were young
C
And we had time
Am F C G F
How I hate,, the feelin' that time,, keeps slipping away
C F C
The child in me is kickin',, don't let a moment pass
Cuz I can't bear to witness my parents age so fast
F
They're way too young to fly home,,
C
and I can't stand to watch the hourglass
G
I'm treadin' water,,
F C
I'm tryna keep my head above the ground
G
I'm treadin' water,,
F C
I'm tryna keep time from runnin' out
So would you come with me up to the Oak tree
