The Table chords by Rex Orange County

• Difficulty: Intermediate

Key: D

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 table

The 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 them

Everything they truly need

     Gmaj7
They may just be a stranger

But 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


Refrain:
D
Ah

Oh, whoa
D
Oh, whoa

Oh, whoa

D
Oh, whoa

Oh, whoa
D
Oh, whoa

Yeah, ah

D
Oh, whoa

Oh, whoa
D
Oh, whoa

Yeah, ah, yeah, ah
