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