Intro: Verse: We scratched our names in that oak tree 'Cause I loved you and you loved me A jagged little heart so the whole town knew it Carved in the bark with an arrow through it I came out here to see it one more time And I got my chainsaw Oh you know it's got to go, it's such a shame y'all But I ain't gonna be happy 'til those names fall And I'm sittin' on a stump Love is shady, love is tragic, it's hard to bury the hatchet (no chord) Holdin' a chainsaw Verse: I guess all those years, they don't mean a thing Now I can't wait, to count those rings Nothing left of us but dust and splinters A big pile of wood to keep me warm through the wint-er-er 'Cause I, I don't have you But I got my chainsaw Oh you know it's got to go, it's such a shame y'all But I ain't gonna be happy 'til those names fall And I'm sittin' on a stump Love is shady, love is tragic, it's hard to bury the hatchet (no chord) Holdin' a chainsaw Just a lil' ol' chainsaw Bridge: I remember what you said that night That you would love me for the rest of your life We wrote forever with a pocketknife But forever's goin' down tonight Cause I got my chainsaw It's got to go, it's such a shame doll But I ain't gonna be happy 'til those names fall And I'm sittin' on a stump Love is shady, love is tragic, it's hard to bury the hatchet Love is shady, love is tragic, it's hard to bury the hatchet (no chord) Holdin' a chainsaw, chain-chain-chainsaw, wooh, dananananah na na-a-ah, danananana na ah Yadadadada na na-a-nah, Yadadada da da.
