Family Tree Chords

CAPO 1
 
[Verse]
                           Dm
I've been waiting on that email,
                Bb
where you apologize
            F
And for invitations to family occasions
                 C
but they don't arrive
                             Dm
I talk about you with my therapist,
                         Bb
and say you're just misunderstood
                              F
She said I've had you on a pedestal
 
since I was 8 years old
              C
And it don't do me no good
Bb
Year by year it fucks me up
G
Carrying dead wood, carrying us
 
[Chorus]
Dm                          Bb
I'll tear down this family tree
                             F
'Cause it's poisoned you and me
                         C
Gotta cut, cut, cut it down
                                Dm
And watch as it falls to the ground
                         Bb
Take a chainsaw to the branches,
                           F
to the source of all my sadness
                  C
Cut, cut, cut it down
 
Down, down
 
[Verse]
                         Dm
If you think I wanna do this
                     Bb
then God you got it wrong
                   F
But i gotta be ruthless
 
digging up the roots
                    C
till all of you is gone
                               Dm
I never thought we'd be that family
                       Bb
That didn't speak for 20 years
                      F
I'll see you at the funeral
 
for somebody we both knew,
          C
act like it ain't weird, oh
 
[Chorus]
Dm                          Bb
I'll tear down this family tree
                             F
'Cause it's poisoned you and me
                         C
Gotta cut, cut, cut it down
                                Dm
And watch as it falls to the ground
                         Bb
Take a chainsaw to the branches,
                           F
to the source of all my sadness
                  C
Cut, cut, cut it down
 
Down, down

                           F

I gotta cut it down down
 
[Ending Chorus]
 
Dm                              Bb
So dont reach out, dont contact me
                         F
its taken every part of me
                    C
to cut cut cut you out
                        Dm
you will never hurt me now
                         Bb
Take a chainsaw to the branches,
                           F
to the source of all my sadness
                  C
Cut, cut, cut it down
 
Down, down
 
Dm
Down down dd down d down
 
Down down dd down d down
Bb
Down down dd down d down
                           F
Down, I gotta cut you down down
                        C
So youll never hurt me now, down down
