The Table - Rex Orange County | Guitar Chords | VChords

[Intro]
---------------------
C

[Verse 1]
---------------------
C
Looking at a table
Wondering what type of wood it's made of
Wondering exactly which tree gave itself
    E               Dm7
And more importantly
Who sat beneath that tree?
Which lovers carved initials?
     C
What happened on the ground around it?
Who walked on the leaves surrounding?

[Verse 2]
---------------------
C
 And where are those lovers now?
Are they still with us? Hopefully
Did that tree mean much to them?
                      E 
Was it their place to go in spring?
   Dm7
Or summer when the sun came out?
Autumn walks amongst the leaves
  C
I hope they know my table made me
Think of them and help me see

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
     Fmaj7
Much more than just a table
The people I won't get to meet
   C
At least I got more out of it
                       E 
Than just somewhere to sit and eat
   Fmaj7
Or to   converse with someone else
Two folks between coffee
             Dm7
Now, there's two more people sat down
On a one sat on the tree

[Pre-Verse]
---------------------
C
 Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa

[Verse 3]
---------------------
C
Looking at a stranger
Wondering what kind of life have they got
Wondering exactly what they're going through
    E                     Dm7
And where they're going to
What do they care about?
And whereabouts do they go out
   C
To let loose pre the stressful mornings?
Do they feel their job is boring?

[Verse 4]
---------------------
C
 And do they know how it feels
To fall in love uncontrollably?
Have they found their purpose or
                       E 
The person that they'd like to be?
 Dm7
Around for months on end and spend
Days and nights there endlessly
  C
I hope they met someone who gives them
Everything they truly need

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
     Fmaj7
They may  just be a stranger
But I see strangers constantly
   C
We have so much in common and
                    E 
Yet, not enough for us to speak
  Fmaj7
I watch the stranger walk away
They stop and look back at me
        Dm7
I can't tell if I'm the stranger
Sometimes, I feel like the tree

[Outro]
---------------------
C
 Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa
