[D A G A]
D A
On a hill faraway stands a tall mighty tree
G A Asus-A
Where a boy and girl used to take turns pushing a tire swing
D
I remember the pocketknife in hand
A
And her name in my heart
G
And thinkin’ there ain’t no way for a boy to contain
E F#
The love that he feels inside
G D
So I carved her name into my tree
G A
Then I carved a heart around her name
Bm G G/B
Then I carved an arrow through her heart
D G
Just to say, I love you
D A
Now on a hill far away stood an old rugged cross
G A
The emblem of suffering and shame
D
I remember the nails through my hands
A
And your name in my heart
G
And how in their wordless way the nails explain
E F#
The love that I feel inside
G D
As they carved your name into my tree
G A
Where I wrapped my heart around your name
Bm G G/B
Then I took your arrow through my heart
D
Just to say, I love you
G
Just to say, I love you
Bm G D
Now I can never forget how much you mean to me
A F# E G
'Cause I will always remember whenever I see
G D
Where I carved your name into my tree
G A
Where I wrapped my heart around your name
Bm G G/B
Then I took an arrow through my heart
D G
Just to say, I love you
D G
Just to say, I love you
D G D (bass - B,A,G,D)
I really love you
