Lyrics The Band Perry

The Band Perry

Chainsaw

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

Holdin' a chainsaw

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 winter

'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

Holdin' a chainsaw

Just a lil' ol' chainsaw

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

Holdin' a chainsaw
