Roots Before Branches

• Em

   Em                    C  
So many things to do and say 
    Em                      C  
But I can't seem to find my way 
    Em           C         Em   C 
But I wanna know how 
  Em                           C 
I know I'm meant for something else 
    Em                 C 
But first I gotta find myself 
    Em           C    Em  C 
But I don't know how 

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

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

   Em                   C  
Sometimes I don't wanna feel 
    Em                 C  
And forget the pain is real 
       Em          C         Em   C 
Put my head in the clouds 
    Em                      C 
Oh, start to run and then I fall 
    Em                C 
Seein' I can't get it all 
           Em          C    Em  C 
Without my feet on the ground 

         C 
There's always a seed 
                G 
Before there's a rose 
                  C 
The more that it rains 
                D/F# 
The more I will grow 

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

 
Whatever comes 
I know how to take it 
Learn to be strong 
I won't have to fake it 
Oh, you're understandin' 
Oh, but when you come 
And do it best 
There ain't nothin' 
To stoppin' east to west 
(I'm not sure 
if this is right) 
But I'll still 
Be standing 
I'll be standing 


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

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