Strong Enough to Bend
(Intro)
G D G D C D G
(Verse)
G D G D
There's a tree out in the back yard
C D G D
That never has been broken by the wind
G D G D
And the reason it's still standin'
C D G
It was strong enough to bend
(Verse)
G D G D
For years we have stayed together
C D D7 G D
As lovers and as friends
G D G D
What we have will last forever
C G
If we're strong enough to bend
(Bridge)
A
When you say somethin' that you can't take back
C
A big wind blows and you hear a crack
A
When you say "Hey, well, I might be wrong,"
D C
You can sway with the wind till the storm is gone
D D7
(Sway with the wind till the storm is gone.)
(Chorus)
G
Like a tree
D
(Like a tree)
G D
Out in the back yard
C D G D
That never has been broken by the wind
G
Our love
D
(Our love)
G D
Will last forever
C D G
If we're strong enough to bend
(Bridge)
A
When you start thinkin' that you know it all
C
A big wind blows and a branch will fall
A
When you say "Hey, this job takes two,"
D C
We can sway with the wind till the skies turn blue
D D7
(Sway with the wind till the skies turn blue.)
(Chorus)
G
Like the tree
D
(Like the tree)
G D
Out in the back yard
C D G D
That never has been broken by the wind
G
Our love
D
(Our love)
G D
Will last forever
C D G
If we're strong enough to bend
G
Our love
D
(Our love)
G D
Will last forever
C D G
If we're strong enough to bend
