C                              F 
If I build it out of blood and bone 
Am                       G 
If I love it and I even give it a good name 
C                             F 
and I let it stand up on its own 
Am                           G 
and if I even never learn to trust and walk away 

C                       F 
Will it crumble on its own two feet 
Am                      G 
Or will it multiply and grow big white wings 
C                          F 
If I love it and I give it life 
Am                            G 
Can I let it go and know that it was never mine 

C F Give more, give it all away Dm G I'm sure it'll come back someday C F You gotta let go to let it circle back around Dm G To rise up, you gotta learn to root down C F Dm G I.... learned to root down. C F Dm G I...
C F If I cut it with a heart-shaped knife Am G and I send it to my very closest of friends C F and they somehow bring it back to life Am G what if I only ever do it all over again C F I'm a writer here upon this ship Am G on a sea of unnamed and untamed passages C F Every vessel's meant for pouring out Am G and every bloom has to make room to root down
C F Give more, give it all away Dm G I'm sure it'll come back someday C F You gotta let go to let it circle back around Dm G To rise up, you gotta learn to root down C F Dm G I.... learned to root down. C F Dm G I...
C F Give more, give it all away Dm G I'm sure it'll come back someday C F You gotta let go to let it circle back around Dm G To rise up, you gotta learn to root down End on: C
