Capo 5th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse1

 Don't cry, try not to wait up for me tonight

 I'm leaving for the future and it's bright

 Being swept off my feet like a drifting kite

Verse2

 And I'm regretting all the choices that I make

 But I know we can learn from our mistakes

 With every single new step that we take

Bridge1

 I don't repeat myself I'm not a parrot

You know how I feel and that's apparent

 Our final move's to win or lose

 And I can't make you choose, it's up to you

Chorus

 And I told you my roots will keep me honest

 I'll be a good boy, that I promise

 If I said that I won't leave then I'll stay true

 And I told you, my roots will keep me honest

 If there's a bus home I'll be on it

 When I told you I'm not leaving you'll

 Believe it when you see I'm back for you

Interlude

Verse3

 Sit tight I'm up around the world to do my thing

 And every word you say I'm listening

 And when I wake up it will just be me

Bridge2

 I might repeat myself am I a parrot

You know how I feel and that's apparent

 Our final move's to win or lose

 And I can't make you choose, it's up to you

Chorus

 And I told you my roots will keep me honest

 I'll be a good boy, that I promise

 If I said that I won't leave then I'll stay true

 And I told you, my roots will keep me honest

 If there's a bus home I'll be on it

 When I told you I'm not leaving you'll

 Believe it when you see I'm back for you
