B
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
 C#m     B
Ooh-ooh-ooh
 B
Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
 C#m       B
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh


[Verse 1: Bear Rinehart]
         B
In the spirit of David, and the cracks of 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
         C#m                  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 tied and our souls, they are blind
         C#m          B
Bones broken by the weathеr


[Chorus: Ellie Holcomb, Ellie Holcomb & Bear Rinehart]
       B
Got a lot of bad days still comin' our way
       C#m          B
But a sweet ever after
  B
Wind and wavеs breaking over our walls
         C#m              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
          C#m       B
In the sweet ever after
        C#m        B
In the sweet ever after


[Verse 2: Ellie Holcomb]
     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
                 C#m            B
Sounded like everything was breaking
            B
Well, the tears fell like rain, when the morning light came
        C#m            B
In the wake of that disaster
    B
Brick and stone in the street, shattered glass in our feet
           C#m            B
Homes splintered by the weather


[Chorus: Ellie Holcomb, Ellie Holcomb & Bear Rinehart, Bear Rinehart]
                B
(Listen) Got a lot of bad days still coming our way
        C#m         B
But a sweet ever after (But a sweet ever after)
 B
Wind and waves breaking over our walls
         C#m              B
But the ship, it don't shatter (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 (Is you lose what don't matter)
          B
But the sun's coming up on the stairway to Heaven
         C#m        B
In the sweet ever after
         C#m         B
In the sweet ever after


[Bridge]
         B
If we listen
            B
There's a sound
              C#m
Beneath the footprints
             C#m
In all our towns
            B
We're connected
                B
Like waves of grain
                C#m
When we break wide open
              C#m
We're all the same
     C#m
When we break open
               B
We're all the same


[Chorus: Ellie Holcomb, Bear Rinehart]
       B
Got a lot of bad days still coming our way
       C#m         B
But a sweet ever after
           B
Wind and waves breaking over our walls
           C#m            B
But the ship, it don't shatter (But the ship, it don't shatter)
           B
Well, the real life lesson 'bout a life well-lived
        C#m               B
Is you lose what don't matter (Is you lose what don't matter)
         B
But the sun's coming up on the stairway to Heaven
        C#m         B
In the sweet ever after (In the sweet ever after)
       C#m          B
In the sweet ever after (In the sweet ever after)
         C#m        B
In the sweet ever after (In the sweet ever after)
         C#m        B
In the sweet ever after (In the sweet ever after)
