Sam And The Trees

E 2x B A E B They cut down the trees in the yard today A B The new landlord came over to take them away. C#m B A E Now a few branches are all that 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 B Seems like something’s gone wrong the past couple of weeks A 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 2x B A E B When you close your eyes and think of forever A Do you picture the life that we’re building together? B C#m Or does the thought of your freedom B A Out there on your own seem better and better and better? E 2x B A E B They cut down the trees in the yard today A B The new landlord came over to take them away C#m B A But I’ll always remember the cool of the shade
