Verse
G Em Am
We found that everything we know
D G Em Am
was counting that the ground moves passionate and slow
D G Em Am
we sung a couple honest parables of promise
D G
Hearing words we all missed
Em Am D
that change how they all go
G Em Am
We chose a direction and we ran
D G Em Am
We saw a way to bargain with everything we had
D G Em Am
We sung a broken series of metaphors and theories
D G
Screaming “can you hear these,
Em Am D7
Tell us we’re not mad”
[Chorus]
G Em Am D G
then the thunder and water was making us shout
Em Am D G
“guess we’re mothers and fathers, we’ll figure it out”
B C
Stay in bed a bit more
Em Am D
we ain’t found some new shore
[Verse 2]
G Em Am
We froze in place like it was true
D G Em Am
We knew the world had just changed but nothing on it moved
D G Em Am
We sung our favorite questions that felt more like confessions
D G
Dodging all the lessons
Em Am D
That we already knew
G Em Am
We fought the weather and the stars
D G Em Am
We threatened every fortune that wasn’t in the cards
D G Em Am
We sung about our gravestones, crossing different timezones
D G
People in our old phones
Em Am D7
and not caring where they are
[Chorus]
G Em Am D G
then the thunder and water was making us shout
Em Am D G
“guess we’re mothers and fathers, we’ll figure it out”
B C
Stay in bed a bit more
Em Am D
we ain’t found some new shore
[Bridge]
G Em Am D G Em Am D
and I, oh I’m trusting in an ancient thing
G Em Am D G Em
and I, I gotta be fine holding on a single string
Am D
tied to everything
G Em Am D
tied to everything
[Verse 3]
G Em Am
We’ll mourn for everything we know
D G Em Am
we’ll wonder if the sky moves passionate and slow
D G Em Am
We’ll sing a song of leaving, laughing while we’re grieving
D G
happy to be breathing
Em Am D7
and certain that we’ll grow
[Chorus]
G Em Am D G
then the thunder and water will make us all shout
Em Am D G
“guess we’re mothers and fathers, we’ll figure it out”
B C
Stay in bed a bit more
Em Am
we ain’t found some new shore
D
oh no
[Outro]
G Em Am D D
