Intro Em CVerse 1:
Em C I was planted in the dark G Was watered by the rain B Sloughing off from the bark of my neighbors Em C I pushed outside my shell G Ate up all the dirt B7 That would stop me from reaching the sunC Naked and trembling, B I learned how it works Em E7 The tallest and biggest will always feed first Am I lapped up the leavings and C Whispered through leaves Am B One day, I'll grow up like youVerse 2:
Em Am I learned to thread my roots G Learned the warp and weft B Tightened my grip on them slowly Em Am I learned to be a leech G To drink the elders dry, serves them right B7 Thought they'd steal all my sunlightC Fragile and dying, B they learned how it works Em The smallest and smartest E7 Will learn to feed first Am C Out of the woodwork and in on the breeze Am B Grow up to look just like youBridge:
Em C G B oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh Em Am G B oooh, oooh, oooh, ooohVerse 3:
Em C I fought my way to life G I grew to love the dark B Hiding my shoots blooming strangely Em Am I have counted every breath G Watched your every step B Someday I will taste the sunlightOutro Em C G B ah, ah, ah, ah Em Am G B ah, ah, ah, ahC B Skin cinched like hand-me-down clothes, I convulse Em I'll stop your heartbeat E7 to feel my own pulse Am Stretching my nerves out for C warmth within reach Am B Waiting to feel something new
