Chords

      Em    G        Am
I'm a cloud drifting by

         Em    G        Am
Dripping tears from the sky

      Em        G     Am
I'm a snail without a shell

      Em     G      Am
Leper with a golden bell

         Em  G      Am
I've got nowhere to go

      Em        G      Am
I'm a stray cat on the roam

        Em   G       Am
Choking on a chicken bone

      Em          G        Am
For a home sweet, no sweet home

      C           G           D
For a root, for a leaf, for a branch,

      Em
for a tree

        C            G           D
For something, somebody that remind

           B7
ed them of me

Em      G       Am           D
Running with my roots pulled up

Em        G       Am         D
Caught me cold so they could cut

Em     G       Am      D
What there was left of love

       Em    G   Am  D
I'm rootless 

       Em    G   Am  D
I'm rootless

          Em      G      Am
Work your fingers to the bone

         Em      G      Am
Building castles out of snow

      Em    G       Am
I'm a nomad walking on

        Em     G        Am
Humming to the same old song

      Em   G    Am
Lower case society

        Em   G    Am
Tied to no community

      Em     G      Am
A kingdom without a king

        Em       G      Am
With no sense of belonging

      C           G           D
For a root, for a leaf, for a branch,

      Em
for a tree

        C            G           D
For something, somebody that remind

           B7
ed them of me

Em      G       Am           D
Running with my roots pulled up

Em        G       Am         D
Caught me cold so they could cut

Em     G       Am      D
What there was left of love

       Em    G   Am  D
I'm rootless 

       Em    G   Am  D
I'm rootless

Em      D       Em           G 
Running with my roots pulled up

   Am         B7     Em      D
So they could cut me free of love

Em      G       Am           D
Running with my roots pulled up

Em        G       Am         D
Caught me cold so they could cut

Em     G       Am      D
What there was left of love

       Em    G   Am  D
I'm rootless 

       Em    G   Am  D
I'm rootless

Em       G        Am          D
Dragging my roots through the snow

Em      G         Am       D
No home sweet and no sweet home

Em   G      Am      D
I've got nowhere to go

       Em    G   Am  D
I'm rootless 

       Em    G   Am  D
I'm rootless
