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!

(tip :keep your ring finger on the B string 3rd fret the whole way through)
(I don't know some... all of the chord names as I made them by sound- sorry :D send corrections if you know :p)



Start...

D            (Dsus2)              Em7  (Leave out the Dsus2 if you're strumming quietly or just
   I see the walls, then see them fall                                            once per chord)
          G
You break through them all
D            (Dsus2)              Em7
   I see you crawl, now you stand tall
         G
Grow and grow till tall



[Interlude]
D Dsus2 D Dadd1 ....x2-(the interludes and even the whole song can be plucked- if requested i'll tab it)



D               (Dsus2)             Em7              G
    In storm we scream against the stream, our eyes watering
D            (Dsus2)             Em7
    Jump into lakes, the surface breaks
        G
We swim underwater, and our
D           G
mouths - In tune



 Em             G             D            Dsus2
We all want to grow with the seeds we will sow
 Em             G             D            Dsus2
We all want to go with the trees we will grow
 Em             G             D            Dsus2
We all want to know when we're all meant to go
     Em            G
To a place you and I...




D         (Dsus2)            Em7           G
    I see forest, a treasure chest full of labyrinth
D          (Dsus2)             Em7
    I see a door, holes in the floor
            G
We'll break seeds, we'll grow


Bridge: x2

D                 Dadd2
   There's songs, songs you bring to us
D                 Dadd3
   You pin both the wings on us
D                 Dadd2
   I hear, I see you sing for us
D                 Dadd3
   You go tie a string around us



 Em             G             D            Dsus2
We all want to grow with the seeds we will sow
 Em             G             D            Dsus2
We all want to go with the trees .....  ooohhh
 Em             G             D            Dsus2
We all want to know when we're all meant to go
     Em            G
To a place you and I...


 Em            G             D              Dsus2
We all want to grow with the seeds we will sow
 Em            G             D             Dsus2
We all want to go with the trees we will grow
 Em            G               D           Dsus2
We all want to know when we're all meant to go
     Em            G
To a place you and I...



I see you grow : I see you grow : Grow taller [this i generally leave out while playing without a loop pedal :)]

        D           G
And our mouths - In tune

End with:
D Dadd4 D Dsus2 (slow pluck strums work best, how many times you want :p)

Hope it works - please comment and correct!  :P
