roots and branches Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]We lay on our backs out on
[F]the front [C]yard[Am]
Holding [C]your right hand,
I say life's [F]been so [C]hard
The shade of the tree we [F]planted
It grew strong with roots and [Am]branches
But it's [C]just not ours any[F]more[C]
We build these walls high,
they blend in[F]to the sky
[Am]Thick skin and bones[G] de
[C]fend us [F]from outside
[C]The way we lost it all,
[F]I think it made you str[Am]ong
But I don't [C]feel that any[F]more
[C]I

[Verse 2]
[F]fee[Am]l nothing at all,
yeah I trip and I [C]fall
Running straight into walls while
you're suffering withdrawals
[F]When will I ever get[C] a better hand?
[Am]I am losing my hope and
it hurts in my [C]throat
Have my back to the coast
at the end of my rope
[F]Oh, will I ever [C]be a better man?

[Verse 3]
Am [C]I meant to be alone?
[Am][C][F]

[Verse 4]
Am I meant to be [C]alone?
[Am][C][F][C]

[Verse 5]
We lay on our backs [F]on the hood of my car
[Am]Holding my right hand,[C]
you point [F]out the North Star
[C]Show me the way ahead,
[F]guide me with light I said
[Am]Cause I can't see stra[C]ight anymo[F]re
[Am]Everyone left [C]me all a[F]t once then
[Am]Honestly, I coul[F]dn't even blame them
[Am]I've been a shitty frien[F]d
I don't know where you went
[Am]I just can't handl[C]e any [F]more

[Verse 6]
I feel [Am]nothing at all, yeah I trip and I [C]fall
Running straight into walls
while you're suffering withdrawals
[F]When will I ever get[C] a better hand?
I am [Am]losing my hope and it
hurts in my [C]throat
Have my back to the coast
at the end of my rope
[F]Oh, will I ever [C]be a bet[G]ter man?

[Outro 1]
Am I meant to be alone?
[Am][C][F]
Am I meant to [Am]be alone?[C][F]
Am I meant to [Am]be alone?[C][F]
Am I meant to [Am]be alone?[C]
