Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Grab  your heart we need to leave
 
 There's no time to cry or grieve
 For the fallen family tree
Rise  above the flooding plain
 Crouching low to duck the flame
 Generations against the grain
 Up in smoke and down the drain
 If the fire, if the flood
 Burns the tree and thins the blood
 If your tears don't want to dry
 I can help you cry
 Through the night
Through  the night and day
 I can't take your pain away
 But I can help you cry
 same as above)
 We'll cut the branch from this tree
 Carve a place for you and me
 A wooden seat that we can string
 From a branch where we can swing
 We'll take this block of wood
 Carve it down and sand it good
 When finished it will be
 A souvenir of the family tree
 same as above)
 And if the fire, if the flood
 Burns the tree and thins the blood
 If your tears don't wanna dry
 same as above)
 I can help you cry
 Through the night
 Through the night and day
 I can't take your pain away
 But I can help you cry
 Through the night
 Through the night and day
 I can't take your pain away
 I can try but
God help  me please
 Come save  the family tree
 My friends  I broke  them all
 When falling off  the wall
In  the ash I found an ember
 Something warm to help remember
 A block of wood that used to be
 A strong tall family tree
 A strong tall family tree
 (no chords)
 Blowing in the breeze
 same as above)
 Cry through the night
 Through the night and day
 I can't take your pain away
 But I can help you cry
 Through the night
 Through the night and day
 I can't take your pain away
 But I can help you cry
 End on D
