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)
