[Strophe]
    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
[Refrain]
    E               B 
And I could write a song 
  G#m           F# 
A hundred miles long 
      E                B 
Well, that's where I belong 
    G#m           F# 
And you belong to me 
    E                B 
And I could write it down 
   G#m            F# 
Or spread it all around 
    E                 B 
Get lost and then get found 
   G#m              F#  B 
Or swallowed in the sea
[Strophe]
    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
[Refrain]
    E               B 
And I could write a book 
    G#m                  F# 
The one they'll say that shook 
    E                  B 
The world, and then it took 
   G#m               F# 
It took it back from me 
    E                B 
And I could write it down 
    G#m           F# 
Or spread it all around 
    E                 B 
Get lost and then get found 
    G#m                 F# 
And you'll come back to me 
    E                B 
Not swallowed in the sea
[Instrumentale]
C#m - E - B - F# (x4)
[Refrain]
    E               B 
And I could write a song 
  G#m           F# 
A hundred miles long 
      E                B 
Well, that's where I belong 
    G#m             F# 
And you belong with me 
     E                     B 
The streets you're walking on 
  G#m             F# 
A thousand houses long 
      E                B 
Well, that's where I belong 
    G#m             F# 
And you belong with me 
        E             B 
Oh what good is it to live 
     G#m             F# 
With nothing left to give 
   E              B 
Forget but not forgive 
    G#m            F# 
Not loving all you see 
        E                     B 
Oh the streets you're walking on 
  G#m             F# 
A thousand houses long 
     E                B 
Well that's where I belong 
    G#m             F# 
And you belong with me 
    E                B 
Not swallowed in the sea
[Outro]
G#m             F# 
You belong with me 
    E                B 
Not swallowed in the sea 
      G#m             F# 
Yeah, you belong with me 
    E                B 
Not swallowed in the sea
