Verse 1:
    G       Bm         Em
It’s true I am built like a tree
   Bm           G          Bm
My branches reach out and my roots
        Em        Bm
Dig into everything around me

I’ve no use for tears, and you’ve noticed
               G       Bm     Em   Bm
I fear almost everything

 G             Bm         Em
I don’t have the option to break
      Bm       G        Bm            Em
Cause all of the people I love have their lives at stake
Bm      C                   Cm                   G  Bm
I feel so selfish, I feel so, insecure when I’m in pain

Chorus:
Em          G7
Please don’t hold me
 Cmaj7                     Bm
I wouldn’t know how to let go
          Cmaj7                     Bm
When the forest inside my heart continues to grow
         Cmaj7                    Bm
And the roots will dig into your soul
            Em      G  Bm
I want to go home

I am a shapeshifter, too

I don’t have control of my past

And even though I know that I still feel at fault

For the things I’ve been through

I wouldn’t know how to let go

When the forest inside my heart continues to grow
         Cmaj7                    Bm
And the roots will dig into your soul
            Em      G  Bm
I want to go home


Verse 3:
G       Bm       Em
I am the daughter of cups

Everything to offer, but it’s never enough

I’ll give you my soul if it means

I will fill up that hole in your heart

When the forest inside my heart continues to grow
        Cmaj7                     Bm
And the roots will dig into your soul

Bridge:
Em           Bm
I will never know if you're sorry
G              Bm
You will never know how you hurt me
      C
And I wonder if you think about
    Cm                         Em     G7
The nights we spent on concrete floors
       Em        Cm                G     Bm  Em  Bm
Or the words you said behind closed doors


Outro:
G       Bm       Em
I am protecting my heart
Bm          G             Bm     Em
Digging up my roots to replant for a start
Bm         C                        Cm
I shake your hand, make peace with the land
                    G  Bm  Em  G7
That you held over me
             Em    Cm
Which you'll never see

G
