Verse
C Am Dm
We found that everything we know
G C Am Dm
was counting that the ground moves passionate and slow
G C Am Dm
we sung a couple honest parables of promise
G C
Hearing words we all missed
Am Dm G
that change how they all go
C Am Dm
We chose a direction and we ran
G C Am Dm
We saw a way to bargain with everything we had
G C Am Dm
We sung a broken series of metaphors and theories
G C
Screaming “can you hear these,
Am Dm G7
Tell us we’re not mad”
[Chorus]
C Am Dm G C
then the thunder and water was making us shout
Am Dm G C
“guess we’re mothers and fathers, we’ll figure it out”
E F
Stay in bed a bit more
Am Dm G
we ain’t found some new shore
[Verse 2]
C Am Dm
We froze in place like it was true
G C Am Dm
We knew the world had just changed but nothing on it moved
G C Am Dm
We sung our favorite questions that felt more like confessions
G C
Dodging all the lessons
Am Dm G
That we already knew
C Am Dm
We fought the weather and the stars
G C Am Dm
We threatened every fortune that wasn’t in the cards
G C Am Dm
We sung about our gravestones, crossing different timezones
G C
People in our old phones
Am Dm G7
and not caring where they are
[Chorus]
C Am Dm G C
then the thunder and water was making us shout
Am Dm G C
“guess we’re mothers and fathers, we’ll figure it out”
E F
Stay in bed a bit more
Am Dm G
we ain’t found some new shore
[Bridge]
C Am Dm G C Am Dm G
and I, oh I’m trusting in an ancient thing
C Am Dm G C Am
and I, I gotta be fine holding on a single string
Dm G
tied to everything
C Am Dm G
tied to everything
[Verse 3]
C Am Dm
We’ll mourn for everything we know
G C Am Dm
we’ll wonder if the sky moves passionate and slow
G C Am Dm
We’ll sing a song of leaving, laughing while we’re grieving
G C
happy to be breathing
Am Dm G7
and certain that we’ll grow
[Chorus]
C Am Dm G C
then the thunder and water will make us all shout
Am Dm G C
“guess we’re mothers and fathers, we’ll figure it out”
E F
Stay in bed a bit more
Am Dm
we ain’t found some new shore
G
oh no
[Outro]
C Am Dm G D
