  D                 G      Bm
Storm rolled in to our surprise
    D                      G      D
It doesn't rain under the tall trees
 D                      G        Bm
You were my lover, you were my tree
 D
You would always protect me

It's easier to take a heart,
Than to let your own be taken
I love that little smile you keep
In the corner of your mouth

Chorus:
    Bm            A
And is it hard to see me go?
 G                 D
Doing things the wrong way
 Bm              A
If you're here, when I fall
         G                       D G Bm D
I know that I won't fall a long way
D
A long way

We were talking on the phone
I stepped out into the hallway
My face was frozen on the screen
And you started laughing
Put a comb through your hair
And a clean shirt on
There's people coming 'round here soon
Everyone, act normal

Chorus:
Big trees fall all the time
They crack and sound like lightning
Leave a big space in your sky when they fall
When they fall a long way
A long way

G       A
Pick me up
A        Bm  G
Fill my cup now
G        A     G        D        A
Take me down, down to where we start
       A     Bm   G
Let's go too far now
G           A
All tangled up
A       Bm     G             D   A
Take me down, down to where we start
A                  D
Down to where we start

Where we start
