Verse
B G#m C#m
We found that everything we know
F# B G#m C#m
was counting that the ground moves passionate and slow
F# B G#m C#m
we sung a couple honest parables of promise
F# B
Hearing words we all missed
G#m C#m F#
that change how they all go

We chose a direction and we ran
F# B G#m C#m
We saw a way to bargain with everything we had
F# B G#m C#m
We sung a broken series of metaphors and theories
F# B
Screaming “can you hear these,
G#m C#m F#7
Tell us we’re not mad”
[Chorus]
B G#m C#m F# B
then the thunder and water was making us shout
G#m C#m F# B
“guess we’re mothers and fathers, we’ll figure it out”
D# E
Stay in bed a bit more
G#m C#m F#
we ain’t found some new shore
[Verse 2]
B G#m C#m
We froze in place like it was true
F# B G#m C#m
We knew the world had just changed but nothing on it moved
F# B G#m C#m
We sung our favorite questions that felt more like confessions
F# B
Dodging all the lessons
G#m C#m F#
That we already knew

We fought the weather and the stars
F# B G#m C#m
We threatened every fortune that wasn’t in the cards
F# B G#m C#m
We sung about our gravestones, crossing different timezones
F# B
People in our old phones
G#m C#m F#7
and not caring where they are
[Chorus]

then the thunder and water was making us shout

“guess we’re mothers and fathers, we’ll figure it out”
D# E
Stay in bed a bit more
G#m C#m F#
we ain’t found some new shore
[Bridge]
B G#m C#m F# B G#m C#m F#
and I, oh I’m trusting in an ancient thing
B G#m C#m F# B G#m
and I, I gotta be fine holding on a single string
C#m F#
tied to everything
B G#m C#m F#
tied to everything
[Verse 3]
B G#m C#m
We’ll mourn for everything we know
F# B G#m C#m
we’ll wonder if the sky moves passionate and slow
F# B G#m C#m
We’ll sing a song of leaving, laughing while we’re grieving
F# B
happy to be breathing
G#m C#m F#7
and certain that we’ll grow
[Chorus]
B G#m C#m F# B
then the thunder and water will make us all shout
G#m C#m F# B
“guess we’re mothers and fathers, we’ll figure it out”

Stay in bed a bit more
G#m C#m
we ain’t found some new shore
F#
oh no
