[Verse 1]
 
    B             F#
You cut me down a tree
    E                  B
And brought it back to me
     F#                  E
And that's what made me see
                  B
Where I was going wrong
                F#
You put me on a shelf
    E               B
And kept me for yourself
      F#           E
I can only blame myself
                   B
You can only blame me
 
 
[Chorus]
 
    E               B
And I could write a song
  Abm           F#
A hundred miles long
      E                B
Well, that's where I belong
    Abm           F#
And you belong to me
    E                B
And I could write it down
   Abm            F#
Or spread it all around
    E                 B
Get lost and then get found
   Abm              F#  B
Or swallowed in the sea
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
    B           F#
You put me on a line
    E              B
And hung me out to dry
    F#                  E
And darling that's when I
   n              B
Decided to go to see you
                   F#
You cut me down to size
    E            B
And opened up my eyes
F#         E
Made me realize
                 B
What I could not see
 
 
[Chorus]
 
    E               B
And I could write a book
    Abm                  F#
The one they'll say that shook
    E                  B
The world, and then it took
   Abm               F#
It took it back from me
    E                B
And I could write it down
    Abm           F#
Or spread it all around
    E                 B
Get lost and then get found
    Abm                 F#
And you'll come back to me
    E                B
Not swallowed in the sea
 
 
[Instrumental]
 
C#m - E - B - F# (x4)
 
 
[Chorus]
 
    E               B
And I could write a song
  Abm           F#
A hundred miles long
      E                B
Well, that's where I belong
    Abm             F#
And you belong with me
     E                     B
The streets you're walking on
  Abm             F#
A thousand houses long
      E                B
Well, that's where I belong
    Abm             F#
And you belong with me
        E             B
Oh what good is it to live
     Abm             F#
With nothing left to give
   E              B
Forget but not forgive
    Abm            F#
Not loving all you see
        E                     B
Oh the streets you're walking on
  Abm             F#
A thousand houses long
     E                B
Well that's where I belong
    Abm             F#
And you belong with me
    E                B
Not swallowed in the sea
 
 
[Outro]
 
Abm             F#
You belong with me
    E                B
Not swallowed in the sea
      Abm             F#
Yeah, you belong with me
    E                B
Not swallowed in the sea
