Chords with lyrics
The verses might look a bit complicated, but they aren't! If
you think it's too much, you can only play Bbm and Ab and it will sound good, too! It's
just, for me, there was something missing inbetween, so I tried it with these chords. If
you play the F# chord, you have got to do it just quick before the F chord. I am playing
them all in the barre-style. But you can totally skip them!
I am also a bit unsure about the Pre-chorus.
No capo.
Marina and the Diamonds - Rootless
Bbm C# Ab
I'm a cloud drifting by
(F#) F Bbm C# Ab
Dripping tears from the sky
(F#) F Bbm C# Ab
I'm a snail without a shell
(F#) F Bbm C# Ab
Leopard with a golden bell
(F#) F Bbm C# Ab
I've got nowhere to go
(F#) F Bbm C# Ab
I'm a stray cat on the roam
(F#) F Bbm C# Ab
Choking on a chicken bone
(F#) F Bbm C# Ab F# F
For a home sweet, no sweet home
F# Bbm Ab Bbm Ab
For a root, for a leaf, for a branch, for a tree
F# Bbm Ab F# Ab
For something, somebody that reminded them of me
Bbm Ab F# Ab
Running with my roots pulled up
Bbm Ab F# Ab
Caught me cold so they could cut
Bbm Ab F# Ab
What there was left of love
Bbm Ab F# Ab
I'm rootless
Bbm Ab F# Ab
I'm rootless
(F#) F Bbm C# Ab
Work your fingers to the bone
(F#) F Bbm C# Ab
Building castles out of snow
(F#) F Bbm C# Ab
I'm a nomad walking on
(F#) F Bbm C# Ab
Humming to the same old song
(F#) F Bbm C# Ab
Lower case society
(F#) F Bbm C# Ab
Tied to no community
(F#) F Bbm C# Ab
A kingdom without a king
(F#) F Bbm C# Ab
With no sense of belonging
F# Bbm Ab Bbm Ab
For a root, for a leaf, for a branch, for a tree
F# Bbm Ab F# Ab
For something, somebody that reminded them of me
Bbm Ab F# Ab
Running with my roots pulled up
Bbm Ab F# Ab
Caught me cold so they could cut
Bbm Ab F# Ab
What there was left of love
Bbm Ab F# Ab
I'm rootless
Bbm Ab F# Ab
I'm rootless
Bbm Ab Bbm Ab
Running with my roots pulled up
Bbm Ab Bbm Ab
So they could cut me free of love
Bbm Ab Bbm Ab
Bbm Ab Bbm Ab
Bbm Ab F# Ab
Running with my roots pulled up
Bbm Ab F# Ab
Caught me cold so they could cut
Bbm Ab F# Ab
What there was left of love
Bbm Ab F# Ab
I'm rootless
Bbm Ab F# Ab
I'm rootless
Bbm Ab F# Ab
Dragging my roots through the snow
Bbm Ab F# Ab
No home sweet and no sweet home
Bbm Ab F# Ab
I've got nowhere to go
Bbm Ab F# Ab
I'm rootless
Bbm Ab F# Ab
I'm rootless
