Verse
D Bm Em
We found that everything we know
A D Bm Em
was counting that the ground moves passionate and slow
A D Bm Em
we sung a couple honest parables of promise
A D
Hearing words we all missed
Bm Em A
that change how they all go
D Bm Em
We chose a direction and we ran
A D Bm Em
We saw a way to bargain with everything we had
A D Bm Em
We sung a broken series of metaphors and theories
A D
Screaming “can you hear these,
Bm Em A7
Tell us we’re not mad”
[Chorus]
D Bm Em A D
then the thunder and water was making us shout
Bm Em A D
“guess we’re mothers and fathers, we’ll figure it out”
F# G
Stay in bed a bit more
Bm Em A
we ain’t found some new shore
[Verse 2]
D Bm Em
We froze in place like it was true
A D Bm Em
We knew the world had just changed but nothing on it moved
A D Bm Em
We sung our favorite questions that felt more like confessions
A D
Dodging all the lessons
Bm Em A
That we already knew
D Bm Em
We fought the weather and the stars
A D Bm Em
We threatened every fortune that wasn’t in the cards
A D Bm Em
We sung about our gravestones, crossing different timezones
A D
People in our old phones
Bm Em A7
and not caring where they are
[Chorus]
D Bm Em A D
then the thunder and water was making us shout
Bm Em A D
“guess we’re mothers and fathers, we’ll figure it out”
F# G
Stay in bed a bit more
Bm Em A
we ain’t found some new shore
[Bridge]
D Bm Em A D Bm Em A
and I, oh I’m trusting in an ancient thing
D Bm Em A D Bm
and I, I gotta be fine holding on a single string
Em A
tied to everything
D Bm Em A
tied to everything
[Verse 3]
D Bm Em
We’ll mourn for everything we know
A D Bm Em
we’ll wonder if the sky moves passionate and slow
A D Bm Em
We’ll sing a song of leaving, laughing while we’re grieving
A D
happy to be breathing
Bm Em A7
and certain that we’ll grow
[Chorus]
D Bm Em A D
then the thunder and water will make us all shout
Bm Em A D
“guess we’re mothers and fathers, we’ll figure it out”
F# G
Stay in bed a bit more
Bm Em
we ain’t found some new shore
A
oh no
[Outro]
D Bm Em A D
