Chorus
(Guitar and bass share the riff and it's hard to tell if the guitar is playing
the bass notes too because they are octaves so I included bass so you can play
the whole thing all by yourself!) note: keep high notes short and an optional
A5 can be played at the end of the F5* E5* lick instead of hitting the A bass
note

And where are you now?

Grow, grow where you are, anchor your roots underneath.

Verse 2:
What's your direction?
What matters most?
What should you know?
What's your direction
All that you've been
Makes who you are now
'Cause I've been ashamed
I've been a fool
You know I've backed down
When I lose direction I pray to be found
Chorus again
