N.C.            E      A
One, two, three


Verse 1:
E
Hey, Micah
E
Sorry it's late, I've been meanin' to call
     A                                  Am
They think he'll pull through, after all
          E
It's been fight or flight, and it's such a shame
E

Guess we pass down more than our last names
    A
Oh, traumas and traditions
Am
They live in all of us


Chorus:
    E
The branches are wide, and the roots, they run deep
    A                          Am
But I'd like to think I'll do things differently
         E                          D
Pull the good from the bad, like a rose from the weeds
        A                        Am
Thought I flew the nest, but it still follows me
      F#m                A                           E
Can't cut down a family tree, but I can turn a new leaf

Anyway, how's Benjy?
E
Has he still been keepin' you up?
       A                                Am
Do you worry the devil's in our blood?
   E
In every oak, you can count the rings
E
Retrace the mistakes and good memories
   A
If Dad was a stranger, would I be more gracious?
   Am
If Mom was just a friend, would I be more patient?


Chorus:
    E
The branches are wide, and the roots, they run deep
    A                          Am
But I'd like to think I'll do things differently
         E                          D
Pull the good from the bad, like a rose from the weeds
        A                        Am
Thought I flew the nest, but it still follows me
      F#m                A                           E      A
Can't cut down a family tree, but I can turn a new leaf
                     E       A   Am
But I can turn a new leaf


Bridge:
      E
I was ready to swing, had the ax in my hand
E
Brother, I've shed some tears only you'd understand
     A
It's love, and it's painful, I'm hurt, but I'm grateful
      Am
We're doin' the best that we can


Chorus:
    E
The branches are wide, and the roots, they run deep
    A                          Am
But I'd like to think I'll do things differently
         E                          D
Pull the good from the bad, like a rose from the weeds
        A                        Am
Thought I flew the nest, but it still follows me
    E
The branches are wide, and the roots, they run deep
    C#m                                       E
But I'd like to think I'll do things differently
E
Pull the good from the bad, like a rose from the weeds
        A                        Am
Thought I flew the nest, but it still follows me


Outro:
        F#m              A
There's always a little green
      F#m                A                           E
Can't cut down a family tree, but I can turn a new leaf
                     A      Am     E
But I can turn a new leaf
