The Oak Tree

	  		 
 

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

                        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

        G?                  F 
We were young, oh we were young 
             C 
And we had time 
         G?              F                        C 
Oh to be young, oh to be young, and to have time
