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

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
