Standard Tuning - Capo 2
EmSo many things to do and say
But I can't seem to find my way
But I Cwanna know how
I Emknow I'm meant For something else
But first I gotta find myself
But I Cdon't know how
Oh, Amwhy do I reach for the Bmstars
When I don't have Cwings to carry me that Dfar?
I gotta have CRoots before EmbrancDhes
To kCnow who I am
Before I Gknow
Who I Dwanna be
And Cfaith
To take EmchancDes
To Clive like I see
A Amplace in this world GFor me
EmSometimes I don't wanna feel
And forget the pain Is real
Put my Chead In the clouds
Oh, Emstart to run And then I fall
Thinkin' I can't get it all
Without my Cfeet On the ground
There's always a Amseed, before there's a Bmrose
The more that it Crains
The more I will Dgrow
I gotta have CRoots before EmbrancDhes
To kCnow who I am
Before I Gknow
Who I Dwanna be
And Cfaith
To take EmchancDes
To Clive like I see
A Amplace in this world GFor me
CWhatever comes I know how to take it
DLearn to be strong
I won't have to Afake it
Oh, you're underEstandin'
The Cwind can come
And do its best
DBlow me north, and south,
East and Awest
But I'll still
Be Gstanding
I'll be standing
If I have
CRoots before EmbrancDhes
To Cknow who I am (To know who I am)
Before I Gknow Who I'm Dgonna be
And Cfaith, To take EmchancDes
To Clive like I see
AmA place in this world
I Cgotta have Roots before EmbrancDhes
To Cknow who I am
Before I Gknow Who I wanna be
And Cfaith, To take EmchancDes
And Clive like I see
AmA place in this Gworld
For me
I gotta have Roots before branches
