Root Down chords by Sara Bareilles

Guitar chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard

Difficulty: Novice

C                              F
If I build it out of blood and bone
Am                       G
If I love it and I even give it a good name
C                             F
and I let it stand up on its own
Am                           G
and if I even never learn to trust and walk away

C                       F
Will it crumble on its own two feet
Am                      G
Or will it multiply and grow big white wings
C                          F
If I love it and I give it life
Am                            G
Can I let it go and know that it was never mine
🎸

Chorus:
C                   F
Give more, give it all away
Dm             G
I'm sure it'll come back someday
C                          F
You gotta let go to let it circle back around
Dm                    G
To rise up, you gotta learn to root down
C     F Dm  G
      I.... learned to root down.
C     F Dm G
      I...

C                               F
If I cut it with a heart-shaped knife
Am                       G
and I send it to my very closest of friends
C                                 F
and they somehow bring it back to life
Am                        G
what if I only ever do it all over again

C                           F
I'm a writer here upon this ship
Am                      G
on a sea of unnamed and untamed passages
C                           F
Every vessel's meant for pouring out
Am                          G
and every bloom has to make room to root down

Chorus:
C                   F
Give more, give it all away
Dm             G
I'm sure it'll come back someday
C                          F
You gotta let go to let it circle back around
Dm                    G
To rise up, you gotta learn to root down
C     F Dm  G
      I.... learned to root down.
C     F Dm G
      I...

C                   F
Give more, give it all away
Dm             G
I'm sure it'll come back someday
C                          F
You gotta let go to let it circle back around
Dm                    G
To rise up, you gotta learn to root down
