   Em                    C 
So many things to do and say

    Em                      C 
But I can't seem to find my way

    Em           C         Em   C
But I wanna know how

  Em                           C
I know I'm meant for something else

    Em                 C
But first I gotta find myself

    Em           C    Em  C
But I don't know how

    C
Oh, why do

                G
I reach for the stars

                  C
When I don't have wings

                 D/F#
To carry me that far?

             C            Em-----D
I gotta have roots before branches

   C
To know who I am

         Em         D
Before I know who I wanna be

    C
And faith

        Em----D
To take chances

   C
To live like I see

  Em            D
A place in this world

    C
For me

   Em                   C 
Sometimes I don't wanna feel

    Em                 C 
And forget the pain is real

       Em          C         Em   C
Put my head in the clouds

    Em                      C
Oh, start to run and then I fall

    Em                C
Seein' I can't get it all

           Em          C    Em  C
Without my feet on the ground

         C
There's always a seed

                G
Before there's a rose

                  C
The more that it rains

                D/F#
The more I will grow

             C            Em-----D
I gotta have roots before branches

   C
To know who I am

         Em         D
Before I know who I wanna be

    C
And faith

        Em----D
To take chances

   C
To live like I see

  Em            D
A place in this world

    C
For me
(Not sure on the chords for this bit, terribly sorry) Whatever comes I know how to take it Learn to be strong I won't have to fake it Oh, you're understandin' Oh, but when you come And do it best There ain't nothin' To stoppin' east to west (I'm not sure if this is right) But I'll still Be standing I'll be standing
