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
