Verse 1
       B
In the spirit of David and the cracks in the walls
        C#m                  B
And the schemes that we’re all running
        B
We’re exposed to the rain coming down from the clouds
        G#m7               E    B
And the fire that falls from heaven
        B
But our tragedy binds what our ignorance hides
       C#m          B
We all wind up here together
          B
Yeah, our bodies are tired and our souls, they are blind
      G#m7        E     B
Bones broken by the weather
Chorus
      B
Got a lotta bad days still comin’ our way
      C#m      B
But a sweet ever after
B
Wind and waves breaking over our walls
        G#m7         E     B
But the ship, it don’t shatter
    B
The real life lesson ‘bout a life well lived
       C#m           B
Is you lose what don’t matter
        B
But the sun’s coming up on the stairway to heaven
       G#m7     E   B
In the sweet ever after
       G#m7     E   B
In the sweet ever after
Verse 2
     B
Woke up terrified in the middle of the night
     C#m                      B
To a storm, our whole house was shaking
       B
Didn’t know where to hide, the winds howling outside
        G#m7              E      B
Sounded like everything was breaking
          B
Well, our tears fell like rain, when the morning light came
       C#m        B
In the wake of that disaster
          B
Brick and stone in streets, shattered glass in our feet
      G#m7            E     B
Homes splintered by the weather
|G#m7 / E B|
REPEAT CHORUS
Bridge
      G#m7  E       B
If we listen, there’s a sound
  F#      G#m7        D#m C#m
Beneath the footprints in all   our towns
F#  G#m7          E      B
We’re connected, like waves of grain
        F#       G#m7 D#m          E
When we break wide open,   we’re all the same
              B                 N.C.
When we break open, we’re all the same
REPEAT CHORUS
