[Intro] G G G Em F G G Em F [Verse] G Em F The old oak tree had roots so far down in the ground G Em F I fell from it and hit the dirt without a sound G Em F I dreamt at night of growing wings so I could fly G Em F A caterpillar to a moth before I die G Em F I plodded through, ordinarily earthbound G Em F I knew my feet could never leave the ground G Em F I went about my way, unsteady and afraid G Em F How could I know I was headed for this day? [Chorus] G Am G C All the seconds And the minutes And the hours And the days C# D E And the weeks And the months And the years of my life D B E It was all worth it, To be here now F G I'm a hummingbird Floatin' tree to tree F G C I'm a hummingbird Beautiful and free [Verse] G Em F The old oak tree was dead; I had to cut it down G Em F The sapling roots were new and sprouting through the ground G Em F New worlds were taking shape, unseen and unknown G Em F A branch to rest upon A place to call my own G Em F Something had changed, and I'm not sure how or why G Em F I wasn't dreaming, I was awake, I was alive G Em F Gave up the ghost, he had nothing left to say G Em F But it was him who brought me to this day [Chorus] G Am G C All the seconds And the minutes And the hours And the days C# D E And the weeks And the months And the years of my life D B E It was all worth it, To be here now F G I'm a hummingbird Floatin' tree to tree F G C I'm a hummingbird Beautiful and free
