No Roots – Alice Merton

6                               
I like digging holes and hiding things inside them
When I'll grow old I hope I won't forget to find them
2                           4           5              6
'Cause I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night
6
I built a home and wait for someone to tear it down
Then pack it up in boxes, head for the next town running
2                           4           5              6
'Cause I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night

[Pre-chorus]
      2                              
And a thousand times I've seen this road,
  4 *      5 *
A thousand times

[Chorus]
6
I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground

I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
            2           4
I've got no roots uuuh uuuh uh uh
5           6                  
I've got no roots uuuh uuuh uh uh
6
I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground

I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
            2           4
I've got no roots uuuh uuuh uh uh
5           6
I've got no roots uuuh uuuh uh uh

[Verse]
6 
I like standing still, boy that's just a wishful plan

Ask me where I come from, I'll say a different land
2                        4           5              6
But I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night

6
I can't get the numbers, and play the guessing name

It's just the place that changes, the rest is still the same
2                        4           5              6 
But I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night

[Pre-chorus]
      2 *
And a thousand times I've seen this road,
  4 *      5 *
A thousand times

[Chorus]
6
I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground

I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
            2           4
I've got no roots uuuh uuuh uh uh
5           6                  
I've got no roots uuuh uuuh uh uh
6
I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground

I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
            2           4
I've got no roots uuuh uuuh uh uh
5           6
I've got no roots uuuh uuuh uh uh

[Bridge]
6
I like digging holes,
6
Hiding things inside them
6
When I'll grow old
6
I won't forget to find them
6
I like digging holes,
6
Hiding things inside them
6
When I'll grow old
6
I won't forget to find them
6
I've got no roots
No roots

[Chorus]
6
I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground

I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
            2           4
I've got no roots uuuh uuuh uh uh
5           6                  
I've got no roots uuuh uuuh uh uh
6
I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground

I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
            2           4
I've got no roots uuuh uuuh uh uh
5           6
I've got no roots uuuh uuuh uh uh
