     B             F#
You cut me down a tree
      E                B
And brought it back to me
     F#                  E
And that's what made me see
                    B
Where I was going wrong
                 F#
You put me on a shelf
     E               B
And kept me for yourself
      F#            E
I can only blame myself
                    B
You can only blame me

Chorus:
    E                B
And I could write a song
  G#m           F#
A hundred miles long
        E               B
Well, that's where I belong
    G#m           F#
And you belong to me
    E                 B
And I could write it down
     G#m           F#
Or spread it all around
     E                 B
Get lost and then get found
    G#m             F# B
Or swallowed in the sea

You put me on a line
And hung me out to dry
And darling, that's when I
Decided to go see
You cut me down to size
And opened up my eyes
Made me realize
What I could not see

Chorus:
And I could write a book
The one they'll say that shook
The world, and then it took
It took it back from me
And I could write it down
Or spread it all around
Get lost, and then get found
And you'll come back to me
Not swallowed in the sea

And I could write a song
A hundred miles long
Well, that's where I belong
And you belong with me
The streets you're walking on
A thousand houses long
Well, that's where I belong
And you belong with me

         E             B
Oh what good is it to live
      G#m             F#
With nothing left to give
    E              B
Forget but not forgive
                   F#
Not loving all you see
          E                   B
Oh the streets you're walking on
    G#m           F#
A thousand houses long
       E              B
Well that's where I belong
                    F#
And you belong with me
      E               B
Not swallowed in the sea

G#m             F#
You belong with me
      E                B
Not swallowed in the sea
      G#m             F#
Yeah, you belong with me
      E               B
Not swallowed in the sea
