Standard (EADGBE)

Roots before branches

To know who I am

 Before I know

 Who I wanna be

 And faith

 To take chances

  To live like I see

A place in this world

 For me

Sometimes I don't wanna feel

And forget the pain Is real

 Put my head In the clouds

 Oh, start to run And then I fall

Seein' I can't get it all

 Without my feet On the ground

 There's always a seed

  Before there's a rose

  The more that it rains

 The more I will grow

I gotta have

Roots before branches

To know who I am

 Before I know

 Who I wanna be

 And faith

 To take chances

  To live like I see

A place in this world

 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

But I'll still

Be standing

I'll be standing

I gotta have
