(E major) Who (E minor) sat beneath that tree?
Which lovers carved (A major) initials?
What (D major) happened on the ground around it?
Who walked on the leaves surrounding?
Verse 3
And where are those lovers now? (D major)
Are they still with us? Hopefully
Did that tree mean much to them?
Was it their place to (F sharp major) go in spring?
Verse 4
Or (E major) summer when the sun came (E minor) out?
Autumn (A major) walks amongst the leaves
(D major) I hope they know my table made me
Think of them and help me see

Much (G major) more than just a table
The people I won't get to meet
(D major) At least I (F sharp minor) got more out of it
Than just somewhere to (F sharp major) sit and eat
Verse 6
Or (G major) to converse with someone else
Two folks between coffee
Now there's (E minor) two more people sat down
On a (A major) once sat under tree

Looking at a stranger Wondering (D major)
what kind of life
have they got
Wondering exactly what
they're going through
And (F sharp major) where they're going to
Verse 9
(E major) What do they care about?
And whereabouts do they go (D major) out
To let loose pre the stressful mornings?
Do they feel their job is boring?
Verse 10
And do they know how it feels (D major)
To fall in love uncontrollably?
Have they found their purpose or
The person that they'd (F sharp major) like to be?
(E major) Around for months on end and spend
Days and nights there endlessly
(A major) I (D major) hope they've met someone
who gives them
Everything they truly need
Verse 11
They (G major) may just (D major) be a stranger
(G major) But I see strangers constantly
(D major) We have so (F sharp minor) much in common and
Yet not enough (F sharp major) for us to speak
Verse 12
I (G major) watch the stranger walk away
They stop and look back at me
I can't (E minor) tell if I'm the stranger
(E major) Sometimes I feel like the tree (D major)
Ah Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa
Verse 13
Oh, whoa (D major)
Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa
(Yeah)
Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa
