Intro: Em D C Am (x2)

     Em     D             C     Am
Generations wait Like the river sways,
      Em      D             C        Am
For a father's blood, For a mother's love.

              Em        D             C       Am
Though not the promised land, Nor any perfect plan,
          Em      D                C      Am      Em
Along our neutral path There was a single lowered branch.

         Em             D                C               Am         
What was flawless canvas-white, What was kindness in our eyes
        Em              D           C          Am
Is now a blemished masterpiece, An astigmatism life.
          Em               D                  C              Am
But let's cut right to the chase, To when the best of us was on display,

          Em         D          C    Am       Em
Before we tipped the scale from confidence to doubt.
        D        C       Am          Em
I would hold you now, if only i knew how.


      Em      D            C         Am
Concentration breaks Under frivolous weight.
             Em      D             C        Am
If the right words exist, May they find our lips.

Let's stay the course And let the tension make us new.
                     C      G                     C         D   D7
I don't know if it's virtue, I don't know if it's just dumb luck.
                      Em
Would it matter if it was?
                    Am        D                      D7
What if we welcomed change in? If we opened up just enough
         G
To let it begin?
C   D7     G
 To let it begin?

     C          Em        D
“the doors will open wide for you.”
       C         Em             D
It was said just like it was the truth,
                G
If we walk right through...
