Verse
F# D#m G#m
We found that everything we know
C# F# D#m G#m
was counting that the ground moves passionate and slow
C# F# D#m G#m
we sung a couple honest parables of promise
C# F#
Hearing words we all missed
D#m G#m C#
that change how they all go
F# D#m G#m
We chose a direction and we ran
C# F# D#m G#m
We saw a way to bargain with everything we had
C# F# D#m G#m
We sung a broken series of metaphors and theories
C# F#
Screaming “can you hear these,
D#m G#m C#7
Tell us we’re not mad”
[Chorus]
F# D#m G#m C# F#
then the thunder and water was making us shout
D#m G#m C# F#
“guess we’re mothers and fathers, we’ll figure it out”
A# B
Stay in bed a bit more
D#m G#m C#
we ain’t found some new shore
[Verse 2]
F# D#m G#m
We froze in place like it was true
C# F# D#m G#m
We knew the world had just changed but nothing on it moved
C# F# D#m G#m
We sung our favorite questions that felt more like confessions
C# F#
Dodging all the lessons
D#m G#m C#
That we already knew
F# D#m G#m
We fought the weather and the stars
C# F# D#m G#m
We threatened every fortune that wasn’t in the cards
C# F# D#m G#m
We sung about our gravestones, crossing different timezones
C# F#
People in our old phones
D#m G#m C#7
and not caring where they are
[Chorus]
F# D#m G#m C# F#
then the thunder and water was making us shout
D#m G#m C# F#
“guess we’re mothers and fathers, we’ll figure it out”
A# B
Stay in bed a bit more
D#m G#m C#
we ain’t found some new shore
[Bridge]
F# D#m G#m C# F# D#m G#m C#
and I, oh I’m trusting in an ancient thing
F# D#m G#m C# F# D#m
and I, I gotta be fine holding on a single string
G#m C#
tied to everything
F# D#m G#m C#
tied to everything
[Verse 3]
F# D#m G#m
We’ll mourn for everything we know
C# F# D#m G#m
we’ll wonder if the sky moves passionate and slow
C# F# D#m G#m
We’ll sing a song of leaving, laughing while we’re grieving
C# F#
happy to be breathing
D#m G#m C#7
and certain that we’ll grow
[Chorus]
F# D#m G#m C# F#
then the thunder and water will make us all shout
D#m G#m C# F#
“guess we’re mothers and fathers, we’ll figure it out”
A# B
Stay in bed a bit more
D#m G#m
we ain’t found some new shore
C#
oh no
[Outro]
