Big Oak Tree
Big Oak Tree
VERSE
E*
Sitting underneath this big oak tree
don't have anything to write about
white apartment walls, a car, and a dog
Your average old guy just working through a slog
A
I guess I don't have a whole lot to say
I could try to force something profound
E
Could act like my problems are worse than they are
Lucky enough to be too lazy to get far
CHORUS
A E (riff 1)
Can't get a chorus for free
A E (riff 1)
Wide awake, yet I still cant see
A E (riff 1)
Learned everything I could about the muse
B B7
I think I'm doing all the stuff I'm supposed to do
E
VERSE
E
Sometimes I like to count my lucky stars
Other times I like to watch them fade
Imagine what could be if I could just release
Making everyday different from today
So I'm still sitting under this tree
Wishing the sunshine would turn into words
Give the song an edge and make it sing
So that others will come and sit with me
Chorus
VERSE
Pens down, I close my guitar case
Guess today just isn't the day
Maybe it will come out if I work a little more
Then tomorrow will be the day that I sing.
Here's a chance to take it to the bridge
But a bridge is no use when you're going nowhere
So instead I'll just finish this verse
One last line and back to the chorus
