Capo 6

Em G Am

I'm a cloud drifting by

Em G Am

Dripping tears from the sky

Em G Am

I'm a snail without a shell

Em G Am

Leper with a golden bell

Em G Am

I've got nowhere to go

Em G Am

I'm a stray cat on the roam

Em G Am

Choking on a chicken bone

Em G Am

For a home sweet, no sweet home

C G D

For a root, for a leaf, for a branch,

for a tree

C G D

For something, somebody that remind

ed them of me

Em G Am D

Running with my roots pulled up

Em G Am D

Caught me cold so they could cut

Em G Am D

What there was left of love

Em G Am D

I'm rootless

Em G Am D

I'm rootless

Em G Am

Work your fingers to the bone

Em G Am

Building castles out of snow

Em G Am

I'm a nomad walking on

Em G Am

Humming to the same old song

Em G Am

Lower case society

Em G Am

Tied to no community

Em G Am

A kingdom without a king

Em G Am

With no sense of belonging

C G D

For a root, for a leaf, for a branch,

for a tree

C G D

For something, somebody that remind

ed them of me

Em G Am D

Running with my roots pulled up

Em G Am D

Caught me cold so they could cut

Em G Am D

What there was left of love

Em G Am D

I'm rootless

Em G Am D

I'm rootless

Em D Em G

Running with my roots pulled up

Am B7 Em D

So they could cut me free of love

Em G Am D

Running with my roots pulled up

Em G Am D

Caught me cold so they could cut

Em G Am D

What there was left of love

Em G Am D

I'm rootless

Em G Am D

I'm rootless

Em G Am D

Dragging my roots through the snow

Em G Am D

No home sweet and no sweet home

Em G Am D

I've got nowhere to go

Em G Am D

I'm rootless

Em G Am D

I'm rootless
