Biography:
Some bands insist on dragging listeners into their world, but Richmond, VA's Carbon Leaf works towards a more admirable and considerably more difficult goal – that of letting perfect strangers feel that the band understands their world. Since 1992, the band has succeeded in doing just that -- and on its third Vanguard release, Nothing Rhymes With Woman, has created a soundtrack suitable for multiple worlds.
“For me, this is an album that’s focused on growth and maturity, but it’s not deadly serious,” says front man Barry Privett.

[Intro]
D / G / D / G / D /// A ///
[Verse 1]
D G D
Grab your heart we need to leave
G D
There's no time to cry or grieve
A
For the fallen family tree
D G D
Rise above the flooding plain
G D
Crouching low to duck the flame
A
Generations against the grain
D
Up in smoke and down the drain
G D
Narrow pass and gaining speed
G D
A judgement lapse is all we need
A
To make the treachery complete
D G D
Fire from the mountainside
G D
Floods below not far behind
A
We rise we work, we fall we swim
D
Best to let the water in
[Pre-Chorus]
G D
If the fire, if the flood
G D
Burns the tree and thins the blood
A
If your tears don't want to dry
[Chorus]
D G
I can help you cry
D
Through the night
G D
Through the night and day
A
I can't take your pain away
D
But I can help you cry
[Verse 2]
G D
Returning prodigals and home
G D
Learning all there is to know
A
About reaping what you sow
D G D
S O S with dot and dash
G D
Morse code, the fire and ash
A
What we have will have to do
D
To work the ground and start anew
G D
We'll cut the branch from this tree
G D
Carve a place for you and me
A
A wooden seat that we can string
D
From a branch where we can swing
G D
We'll take this block of wood
G D
Carve it down and sand it good
A
When finished it will be
D
A souvenir of the family tree
[Pre-Chorus]
G D
And if the fire, if the flood
G D
Burns the tree and thins the blood
A
If your tears don't wanna dry
[Chorus]
D G
I can help you cry
D
Through the night
G D
Through the night and day
A
I can't take your pain away
D G
But I can help you cry
D
Through the night
G D
Through the night and day
A
I can't take your pain away
I can try but
[Bridge]
F C G
God help me please
F C G
Come save the family tree
F C G
My friends I broke them all
F C G
When falling off the wall
[Verse 3]
D G D
In the ash I found an ember
G D
Something warm to help remember
A
A block of wood that used to be
D
A strong tall family tree
A
A strong tall family tree
N.C. D
Blowing in the breeze
[Chorus]
G D
Cry through the night
G D
Through the night and day
A
I can't take your pain away
D G
But I can help you cry
D
Through the night
G D
Through the night and day
A
I can't take your pain away
D
But I can help you cry
