Verse : G I am not my family tree C These are different leaves, you know Em There are miles and miles between D My roots and what I'm tryin' to grow G I am not the slave they sold C Nor am I royalty Em D worn them both The finest coat, G And rags that barely covered me Chorus: Em But there's mercy in the soil C Mercy in the sun G Learnin' to forgive D What cannot be undone Em What was meant to harm C Can't harm you in the end G Stepped out on a limb I thought my break D But love said, Em It will only bend C It will only bend [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/b/brandon-heath/344139.html ] Verse G I am not my past mistakes C Labeled by some place in time Em Nor am I a trophy case D Tryin' to maintain my shine G I have dreamed a thousand dreams C Watch a grain in famine grow Em I am not my family tree D I have branches of my own Bridge: G D Oh, Does fate resign us too? Em Find shelter for our wounds C Beneath the battered roof of broken dreams G D Oh, But I will choose to stand Em In the shadow of Your hand C And see what grows when grace has sown the seed (Slow Down Strum ) Em C G D Oh, oh, oh Em These are different leaves, you know C G D Oh, oh, oh |
