D Bm I met you through a common friend G D in the attic of my parent's house D Bm and though I didn't know it then G A I soon was finding out Bm G you are the roots that sleep beneath my feet D A and hold the earth in place Bm each time a faucet opens G words are spoken D A the water runs away G and I hear your name D no, nothing has changed
D Bm G D
D Bm there was this book I read and loved G D the story of a ship D Bm who sailed around the world and found G A that nothing else exists Bm beyond his own two sails G and wooden shell D A and what is held within Bm all else is sure to pass G we clutch and grasp D A and debate what's truly permanent G but when the wind starts to shift D there's no argument
[Interlude]
D Bm I sing and drink and sleep on floors G A and try hard not to be annoyed D Bm G by all these people worrying about me D Bm so when I'm suffering through some awful drive G A you occasionally cross my mind D Bm G it's my hidden hope that you are still among them
well are you?
[Interlude]
Bm G Oh, you are the roots that sleep beneath my feet D A and hold the earth in place Bm each time a curtain opens G sunlight pours in D A a lifetime melts away G and we share a name D on some picturesque grave
