The Oak Tree chords by Emily Hearn

• Capo on 3rd

Capo 3

C                        F               C
Kickin' the dust up, I'm wearin' out my shoes
C
I can't make my mind up, I've got too much to lose
     F
I'm old enough to leave home,
                                           C
but way too young to know what I should do

   G
I'm treadin' water,
     F                               C
I'm tryna keep my head above the ground

            C
So would you come with me up to the Oak tree
                             F
time will stop for us again
                        C
look back remember when


When we just 18 under the Oak tree
                          F
safer than we'd ever been
                  C
hold onto innocence

C                            F              C
Where has the time gone, I'm feelin' old and gray

Tryna breathe revival into my broken ways
     F
I'm old enough to leave home,
                                       C
but way too young to carry all the blame

     G
I'm treadin' water,
     F                           C
I'm tryna keep my head above the ground


So would you come with me up to the Oak tree
                             F
time will stop for us again
                        C
look back remember when


When we just 18 under the Oak tree
                          F
safer than we'd ever been
                  C
hold onto innocence

        G?                  F
We were young, oh we were young
             C
And we had time

      Am          F          C            G         F
How I hate, the feelin' that time, keeps slipping away

C                                 F            C
The child in me is kickin', don't let a moment pass

Cuz I can't bear to witness my parents age so fast
        F
They're way too young to fly home,
                                     C
and I can't stand to watch the hourglass

     G
I'm treadin' water,
     F                           C
I'm tryna keep my head above the ground
     G
I'm treadin' water,
     F                              C
I'm tryna keep time from runnin' out


So would you come with me up to the Oak tree
                             F
time will stop for us again
                        C
look back remember when


When we just 18 under the Oak tree
                          F
safer than we'd ever been
                 C
hold onto innocence

        G?                  F
We were young, oh we were young
             C
And we had time
         G?              F                        C
