Bright Eyes – Oh You Are The Roots That Sleep Beneath My Feet And Hold The Earth In Place chords

Chords:
Transpose:
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!


D BmI met you through a common friend
G Din the attic of my parent's house
D Bm and though I didn't know it then
G A I soon was finding out
Bm Gyou are the roots that sleep beneath my feet
D Aand hold the earth in place
Bm each time a faucet opens
Gwords are spoken
D Athe water runs away
Gand I hear your name
Dno, nothing has changed
D Bm G D
D Bmthere was this book I read and loved
G Dthe story of a ship
D Bmwho sailed around the world and found
G Athat nothing else exists
Bmbeyond his own two sails
Gand wooden shell
D Aand what is held within
Bmall else is sure to pass
G we clutch and grasp
D Aand debate what's truly permanent
Gbut when the wind starts to shift
Dthere's no argument
[Interlude]
D A I sing and drink and sleep on floors
Bm G and try hard not to be annoyed
F# Bm Aby all these people worrying about me
D A so when I'm suffering through some awful drive
D Gyou occasionally cross my mind
D Bm Ait's my hidden hope that you are still among them
well are you? [Interlude]
D GOh, you are the roots that sleep beneath my feet
D Aand hold the earth in place
Deach time a curtain opens
Gsunlight pours in
D Aa lifetime melts away
Gand we share a name
Don some picturesque grave
