[Verse 1]
We Dfound that Bmeverything we Emknow
was Acounting that the Dground moves Bmpassionate and Emslow
we Asung a couple Dhonest Bmparables of Empromise
AHearing words we Dall missed
that Bmchange how they all EmgoA  
We Dchose a Bmdirection and we Emran
We Asaw a way to Dbargain with Bmeverything we Emhad
We Asung a broken Dseries of Bmmetaphors and Emtheories
AScreaming “can you Dhear these,
BmTell us we’re not Emmad”A7  
[Chorus]
Dthen the Bmthunder and Emwater was Amaking us Dshout
“guess we’re Bmmothers and Emfathers, we’ll Afigure it Dout”
Stay in F#bed a bit Gmore
we ain’t Bmfound some new EmshoreA  
[Verse 2]
We Dfroze in Bmplace like it was Emtrue
We Aknew the world had Djust changed but Bmnothing on it Emmoved
We Asung our favorite Dquestions that Bmfelt more like conEmfessions
ADodging all the Dlessons
That Bmwe already EmknewA  
We Dfought the Bmweather and the Emstars
We Athreatened every Dfortune that Bmwasn’t in the Emcards
We Asung about our Dgravestones, Bmcrossing different Emtimezones
APeople in our Dold phones
and not Bmcaring where they EmareA7  
[Chorus]
Dthen the Bmthunder and Emwater was Amaking us Dshout
“guess we’re Bmmothers and Emfathers, we’ll Afigure it Dout”
Stay in F#bed a bit Gmore
we ain’t Bmfound some new EmshoreA  
[Bridge]
and DI, Bmoh EmI’m Atrusting in an Dancient thingBm  Em  A  
and DI, I Bmgotta be Emfine Aholding on a Dsingle stringBm  
tied to EmeverythingA  
tied to DeverythingBm  Em  A  
[Verse 3]
We’ll Dmourn for Bmeverything we Emknow
we’ll Awonder if the Dsky moves Bmpassionate and Emslow
We’ll Asing a song of Dleaving, Bmlaughing while we’re Emgrieving
Ahappy to be Dbreathing
and Bmcertain that we’ll EmgrowA7  
[Chorus]
Dthen the Bmthunder and Emwater will Amake us all Dshout
“guess we’re Bmmothers and Emfathers, we’ll Afigure it Dout”
Stay in F#bed a bit Gmore
we ain’t Bmfound some new Emshore
oh Ano

Chords in this song · guitar

[Verse 1]

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

oh no

[Outro]

D Bm Em A D
