A#m
Bitter roots
C#         F#
I can't remove
              A#m
The poison inside you

            C#
Bitter roots
         A#m  F#
Sorrow runs deeper
       D#m    F#
Than I ever knew
  
       Am         A#m
This thorn in my side
   F#       Am      A#m
Was once so easy to hide
             F#         Am
Beneath the surface I tried
   A#m       C#   G#   F#
To reach deepe__r in__side
(Inside)
  F
But I just can't deny

              A#m   C#
These bitter roots
         A#m
I can't remove
     C#            F#
The pain you held on to

D#m              A#m
Oh these bitter roots

Feed the disease
C#    D#m F#
Spoil all the fruit
D#m
My bitter roots

F#    Am         A#m
This thorn in my side
   F#       F      A#m
Was once so easy to hide
             F#         Am
Beneath the surface I tried
   A#m       C#   F#
To reach deepe__r in__side
(Inside)
  F
But I just can't deny

A#m                         F#
Reach deeper down inside
     D#m
(Release me)
A#m                            C#
Consume the pain I cannot hide

A#m                       F#
Reach deeper down inside
     D#m
(Release me)
A#m                             C#
Consume the pain I cannot hide
        F#    A#m
Let me go    (gooo!)

C#
Take it all away
A#m            C#
My skin is stronger than soil
A#m                 C#               F#
My heart won't be pierced by these thorns

     A#m  C#
Let me go
        A#m
Take it all away

                           C#
My skin is stronger than soil
A#m                 C#              D#m   C# A#m
My heart won't be pierced by these thorns
C#                   A#m
Tear out the bitter roots
