[Hook]

Am    
A bird with the word came to me
    D
The sweetness of a honeycomb tree
    C
And now I look what's taking over me
         C
Couldn't fake it if I wanted to
         F7
I had to wake up just to make it through
         F7
I got my patience and I'm making do
             D7
I learned my lessons from the ancient roots
             D7
I choose to follow what the greatest do
  Am
A bird with the word came to me
    D

         C
Couldn't fake it if I wanted to
         F7
I had to wake up just to make it through
         F7
I got my patience and I'm making do
             D7
I learned my lessons from the ancient roots
            D7

My mama caught the gambling bug, mmm

Said all we ever need is love, mmm
           Am
We see the same things
            D
We sing the same songs
            C
We feel the same grief
          C
Bleed the same blood
                   F
You grew up in the home beside me
               F7
I always had a friend to call

How could I make it here without you? Mmm
               Dm7
I pray I leave before you're gone
