C F
If I build it out of blood and bone
Am G
If I love it and I even give it a good name
C F
and I let it stand up on its own
Am G
and if I even never learn to trust and walk away
C F
Will it crumble on its own two feet
Am G
Or will it multiply and grow big white wings
C F
If I love it and I give it life
Am G
Can I let it go and know that it was never mine
C F
Give more, give it all away
Dm G
I'm sure it'll come back someday
C F
You gotta let go to let it circle back around
Dm G
To rise up, you gotta learn to root down
C F Dm G
I.... learned to root down.
C F Dm G
I...
C F
If I cut it with a heart-shaped knife
Am G
and I send it to my very closest of friends
C F
and they somehow bring it back to life
Am G
what if I only ever do it all over again
C F
I'm a writer here upon this ship
Am G
on a sea of unnamed and untamed passages
C F
Every vessel's meant for pouring out
Am G
and every bloom has to make room to root down
C F
Give more, give it all away
Dm G
I'm sure it'll come back someday
C F
You gotta let go to let it circle back around
Dm G
To rise up, you gotta learn to root down
C F Dm G
I.... learned to root down.
C F Dm G
I...
C F
Give more, give it all away
Dm G
I'm sure it'll come back someday
C F
You gotta let go to let it circle back around
Dm G
To rise up, you gotta learn to root down
