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