Verse :
              DmDm
I've been waiting on that email
Bb majorBb
where you apologize
      FF
And for invitations to family occasions
         C majorC
but they don't arrive
               DmDm
I talk about you with my therapist


Bb majorBb
and say you're just misunderstood
               FF
She said I've had you on a pedestal

since I was 8 years old
       C majorC
And it don't do me no good
Bb majorBb
Year by year it fucks me up
G+G
Carrying dead wood, carrying us

Chorus:
DmDm             Bb majorBb
I'll tear down this family tree
               FF
'Cause it's poisoned you and me
             C majorC
Gotta cut, cut, cut it down
                DmDm
And watch as it falls to the ground
             Bb majorBb
Take a chainsaw to the branches
FF
to the source of all my sadness
         C majorC
Cut, cut, cut it down

Down, down


Verse :
             DmDm
If you think I wanna do this
           Bb majorBb
then God you got it wrong
          FF
But i gotta be ruthless

digging up the roots
          C majorC
till all of you is gone
                DmDm
I never thought we'd be that family
            Bb majorBb
That didn't speak for 20 years
           FF
I'll see you at the funeral

for somebody we both knew
C majorC
act like it ain't weird, oh

Chorus:
DmDm             Bb majorBb
I'll tear down this family tree
               FF
'Cause it's poisoned you and me
             C majorC
Gotta cut, cut, cut it down
                DmDm
And watch as it falls to the ground
             Bb majorBb
Take a chainsaw to the branches
FF
to the source of all my sadness
         C majorC
Cut, cut, cut it down

Down, down
