Verse : C I am not my family tree F These are different leaves, you know Am There are miles and miles between G My roots and what I'm tryin' to grow C I am not the slave they sold F Nor am I royalty Am G worn them both The finest coat, C And rags that barely covered me Chorus: Am But there's mercy in the soil F Mercy in the sun C Learnin' to forgive G What cannot be undone Am What was meant to harm F Can't harm you in the end C Stepped out on a limb I thought my break G But love said, Am F It will only bend C G It will only bend [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/b/brandon-heath/344168.html ] Verse C I am not my past mistakes F Labeled by some place in time Am Nor am I a trophy case G Tryin' to maintain my shine C I have dreamed a thousand dreams F Watch a grain in famine grow Am I am not my family tree G I have branches of my own Bridge: C G Oh, Does fate resign us too? Am Find shelter for our wounds F Beneath the battered roof of broken dreams C G Oh, But I will choose to stand Am In the shadow of Your hand F And see what grows when grace has sown the seed (Slow Down Strum ) Am F C G Oh, oh, oh Am These are different leaves, you know F C G Oh, oh, oh |
