    F#m
So many things to do and say

But I can't seem to find my way
       D
But I wanna know how
   F#m
I know I'm meant for something else

But first I gotta find myself
       D
But I don't know how

    Bm
Oh, why do
                C#m7
I reach for the stars
                  D
When I don't have wings
                    E
To carry me that far?

              D            F#m   E
I gotta have roots before branches
    D
To know who I am
         F#m         E
Before I know who I wanna be
    D
And faith
         F#m      E
To take chances
    D
To live like I see
   Bm           E
A place in this world
    A
For me

 F#m
Sometimes I don't wanna feel

And forget the pain is real
        D
Put my head in the clouds
     F#m
Oh, start to run and then I fall

Seein' I can't get it all
            D
Without my feet on the ground

                  Bm
There's always a seed
                C#m7
Before there's a rose
                  D
The more that it rains
                F#m  E
The more I will grow

              D            F#m   E
I gotta have roots before branches
    D
To know who I am
         F#m        E
Before I know who I wanna be
    D
And faith
        F#m     E
To take chances
    D
To live like I see
   Bm            E
A place in this world
    A   F#m E
For me

D
Whatever comes
               E
I know how to take it

Learn to be strong
                 B
I won't have to fake it
              F#
Oh, you're understandin'
    D
Oh, but when you come
           E
And do it best

There ain't nothin'
                    B
To stoppin' east to west

But I'll still
       E    A
Be standing
F#m          E
I'll be standing

             D           F#m  E
If I have roots before branches
    D
To know who I am
         F#m         E
Before I know who I wanna be
    D
And faith
        F#m   E
To take chances
   D
To live like I see
  Bm             E
A place in this world...


    D                      F#m   E
I gotta have roots before branches
   D
To know who I am
         F#m         E
Before I know who I wanna be
    D
And faith
         F#m    E
To take chances
    D
To live like I see
   Bm           E     A
A place in this world
       F#m  E
For me
A       F#m   E             A
I gotta have roots before branches
F#m   E
Ohhh yeaahh
