Oh, You Are the Roots That Sleep Beneath My Feet and Hold the Earth in Place Bright Eyes
The version that was already up here had the interlude all wrong
and a lot of the chords were misplaced throughout the song.
This one should be more accurate. Enjoy!
I m[D]et you through a co[Bm]mmon friend
in the att[G]ic of my p[D]arent's house
and thoug[D]h I didn't know it th[Bm]en
I s[G]oon was finding [A]out
you are the r[Bm]oots that sleep ben[G]eath my feet
and h[D]old the earth in p[A]lace
each time a f[Bm]aucet opens
[G]words are spoken
the [D]water runs a[A]way
and I hear your [G]name
no, nothing [D]has changed
[D] [Bm] [G] [D]
[D]there was this book I [Bm]read and loved
the st[G]ory of a ship[D]
who sail[D]ed around the world [Bm]and found
that n[G]othing else exist[A]s
beyond his [Bm]own two sails
and w[G]ooden shell
and [D]what is held with[A]in
all else is [Bm]sure to pass
we c[G]lutch and grasp
and d[D]ebate what's truly p[A]ermanent
but when the wind starts to [G]shift
there's no argu[D]ment
(Interlude)
I s[D]ing and drink and [A]sleep on floors
and t[Bm]ry hard n[G]ot to be annoyed
by a[F#]ll these people [Bm]worrying about[A] me
so[D] when I'm suffering through some [A]awful drive
you occ[D]asionally [G]cross my mind
it's my h[D]idden hope that [Bm]you are still [A]among them
well are you?
(Interlude)
Oh, you are the [D]roots that sleep ben[G]eath my feet
and ho[D]ld the earth in plac[A]e
each time a cu[D]rtain opens
su[G]nlight pours in
a li[D]fetime melts [A]away
and we share [G]a name
on some picturesque g[D]rave
