Tabbed by Pat McInnis

Here's the beginning melody transcribed for the guitar. (I was just messing around with it, and I thought I'd include it)
Feel free too add slurrs and whatnot to give it some flavor. It sounds cool with effects and such.

Lyrics:

You cut me down a tree and brought it back to me
And that's what made me see where I was going wrong
You put on a shelf and kept me for yourself
I can only blame myself, you can only blame me

And I can write a song a hundred miles long
Well that's where I belong, and you belong with me
And I could write it down, or spread it all around
Get lost and then get found, or swallowed in the sea

You put me on a line, and hung me out to dry
And darling that's where I decide to go see
You cut me down to size and opened up my eyes
Made me realize what I could not see

And I could write a book, the one they'll say that shook
the world and then it took...and took it back from me
And I could write it down, or spread it all around
Get lost and then and then get found, and you'll come back to me
not swallowed in the sea

And I can write a song a hundred miles long
Well that's where I belong, and you belong with me
The streets you're walking on, a thousand houses long
Well that's where I belong, and you belong with me

All I get is it's left (?), with nothing left to give
Forget but not forgive, (?) loving all you see
All the streets you're walkin on, a thousand houses long
Well that's where I belong, and you belong with me,
not swallowed in the sea

You belong with me, not swallowed in the sea
Yeah you belong with me, not swallowed in the sea
