We found ourselves together

Through me a tremble rose that I thought might tear but I hope.

Verse 2:
Em
We gathered in the same room,
C
But as the house shook and the ghosts looked in we moved.
Em
Through the ceiling I screamed at you -
C Em
I said, "These bonds are wearing thin. Can you get us through?"
Chorus:
C Em
In a town called High Hope
C Em
We do our best to sing a weary song.
C Em
We fill our lungs to blow these walls out,
C Em
But it takes, it takes wind to knock this house down.
Verse 3:
Em
It came whistling round the corner
C
And from our separate rooms we felt it coming through
Em
The cracks in the windows,
C Em
Stirring up the dust - yeah the wind blew.
Chorus:
C Em
In a town called High Hope
C Em
We do our best to sing a weary song.

But it takes, it takes wind to knock this house down.

From dust we came, to dust we'll go.
