F F C C G G
There is a house built out of stone
F F C C G G
Wooden floors, walls and window sills

Tables and chairs worn by all of the dust

And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust



F F C C G G
Out in the garden where we planted the seeds
Dm Dm F F C C G G
There is a tree as old as me

FC G G
Branches were sewn by the color of green
Dm Dm FC G G
Ground had arose and passed it's knees
F F C C G G
By the cracks of the skin I climbed to the top
Dm Dm FCG
I climbed the tree to see the world
F F C C G G
When the gusts came around to blow me down
Dm Dm FC G G
I held on as tightly as you held onto me
Dm Dm FC G G
I held on as tightly as you held onto me

This is a place where I feel at home

Cm7 sounds off, I personally think you should change it to G or Em! other than that it’s quite nice!
