Intro D G D A D Verse 1: D G Grab your heart we need to leave D There's no time to cry or grieve A For the fallen family tree D G Rise above the flooding plain D Crouching low to duck the flame A Generations against the grain D Up in smoke and down the drain PreChorus: G If the fire, if the flood D Burns the tree and thins the blood A If your tears don't want to dry Chorus: D I can help you cry Through the night G D Through the night and day A I can't take your pain away D But I can help you cry Verse 2 (same as above) We'll cut the branch from this tree Carve a place for you and me A wooden seat that we can string From a branch where we can swing We'll take this block of wood Carve it down and sand it good When finished it will be A souvenir of the family tree Prechorus (same as above) And if the fire, if the flood Burns the tree and thins the blood If your tears don't wanna dry Chorus (same as above) I can help you cry Through the night Through the night and day I can't take your pain away But I can help you cry Through the night Through the night and day I can't take your pain away I can try but Bridge: F C G God help me please F C G Come save the family tree F C G My friends I broke them all F C G When falling off the wall Verse D G In the ash I found an ember D Something warm to help remember A A block of wood that used to be D A strong tall family tree A (let it ring) A strong tall family tree (no chords) Blowing in the breeze Chorus (same as above) Cry through the night Through the night and day I can't take your pain away But I can help you cry Through the night Through the night and day I can't take your pain away But I can help you cry End on D
