WARNING: this tab isn't a perfect play along - the chords match the pitch of the voice and not the piano in the
chorus- but for a cover- this work's really well + is VERY EASY to play

(This is my interpretation of the song because although other tabs "worked" none are perfect for me.
this is the best i can do in a few minutes...- and I won't include any interludes+instrumentals
Some of the chords are altered but all very simple... (tip :when strumming favour the thicker strings)
Strumming pattern is up to you- mine is too complicated to teach without a video- so I won't be :p
Enjoy and Good Luck!

Start...

D MajorD      (Dsus2Dsus2)       E minor 7Em7 (Leave out the Dsus2Dsus2 if you're strumming quietly or just
  I see the walls, then see them fall                      once per chord)
     G+G
You break through them all
D MajorD      (Dsus2Dsus2)       E minor 7Em7
  I see you crawl, now you stand tall
     G+G
Grow and grow till tall


[Interlude]
D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2 D MajorD Dadd1 ....x2-(the interludes and even the whole song can be plucked- if requested i'll tab it)

D MajorD        (Dsus2Dsus2)       E minor 7Em7       G+G
  In storm we scream against the stream, our eyes watering
D MajorD      (Dsus2Dsus2)       E minor 7Em7
  Jump into lakes, the surface breaks
    G+G
We swim underwater, and our
D MajorD      G+G
mouths - In tune


 E minorEm       G+G       D MajorD      Dsus2Dsus2
We all want to grow with the seeds we will sow
 E minorEm       G+G       D MajorD      Dsus2Dsus2
We all want to go with the trees we will grow
 E minorEm       G+G       D MajorD      Dsus2Dsus2
We all want to know when we're all meant to go
   E minorEm      G+G
To a place you and I...



D MajorD     (Dsus2Dsus2)      E minor 7Em7      G+G
  I see forest, a treasure chest full of labyrinth
D MajorD     (Dsus2Dsus2)       E minor 7Em7
  I see a door, holes in the floor
      G+G
We'll break seeds, we'll grow


Bridge: x2

D MajorD         Dadd2
  There's songs, songs you bring to us

D MajorD         Dadd3
  You go tie a string around us
