[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D Looking at a table D Wondering what type of wood it's made of
Wondering exactly which tree gave itself
F# E7 And more importantly
Who sat beneath that tree?
A Which lovers carved initials? D What happened on the ground around it? D Who walked on the leaves surrounding? D And where are those lovers now? D Are they still with us? Hopefully
Did that tree mean much to them?
F#7 Was it their place to go in spring? E7 Or summer when the sun came out? A Autumn walks amongst the leaves D I hope they know my table made me
Think of them and help me see
Gmaj7
Much more than just a tableThe people I won't get to meet
D At least I got more out of it F# Than just somewhere to sit and eat Gma7 Or to converse with someone else
Two folks between coffee
Em7 Now there's two more people sat down A On a one sat on the tree
[Refrain]
D Ah D Oh, whoa D Oh, whoa D Oh, whoa
[Verse 2]
D Looking at a stranger D Wondering what kind of life have they got
Wondering exactly what they're going through
F# E7 And where they're going to E7 What do they care about?
And whereabouts do they go out
D To let loose pre the stressful mornings? D Do they feel their job is boring? D And do they know how it feels D To fall in love uncontrollably?
Have they found their purpose or
F# The person that they'd like to be? E Around for months on end and spend
Days and nights there endlessly
D
I hope they met someone who gives themEverything they truly need
Gmaj7
They may just be a strangerBut I see strangers constantly
D We have so much in common and F# Yet not enough for us to speak Gmaj7 I watch the stranger walk away
They stop and look back at me
E7 I can't tell if I'm the stranger A Sometimes I feel like the tree
