Verse:
G#G# C#C#
They pulled my grandmother’s roses
Right out of the ground
D#D# G#G#
85 years
She spent puttin those roots down
G#G# C#C#
She said “it’s to be expected
It’s the way it’s always been
D#D# G#G#
We take what we are given
D#D# C#C#
And we make it whole again”
G#G# C#C# C#
Make it whole again
G#G# D#D#
Like only we can
G#G# C#C# C#
Make it whole again
G#G# D#D#
With our holy hands
G#9G#9 C#C#
We’ve been ripped apart so many times
D#D# G#G#
Still here we stand
C#C#
And every day you come asking
Csus4Csus4
“Make it whole again?”
G#G# C#C#
They took my grandmothers paintings
Burned them then and there
D#D# G#G#
Said she had the devils touch
And healed her with a prayer
G#G# C#C#
She said “it’s to be expected
How could they understand?
D#D# G#G#
You cannot see an ocean
D#D# C#C#
With your head down in the sand”
G#G# C#C# C#
I paint it all again
G#G# D#D#
With my holy hands
G#G# C#C# C#
We’ll make it whole again
G#G# D#D#
Like only we can
G#9G#9 C#C#
We’ve been ripped apart so many times
D#D# G#G#
Still here we stand
C#C# G#G#
And every day you come asking
D#D#
“Make it whole again?”
G#G#
They took every ounce of truth we had
D#D# G#G#
and fed it to the fire
C#C# D#D#
Took our pain like Novacaine
G#G# C#C#
and wrote us off as liars
G#G#
It burned into our history
D#D# G#G#
A augmentedA legacy of shame
C#C# D#D#
Took every ounce of beauty
G#G# C#(8va)
and never learned our names
G#G# C#(8va)
What if we could fix it
G#G# D#D#
What if there’s no time
G#G# C#(8va)
What if we resisted
G#G# D#D#
Called the lie a lie
G#G# C#C#
What if there’s no savior
D#D# G#G#
There never was a choice
D#D# G#G#
Do you hear the pleading prayers
D#D# C#C#
shaking in our voice
G#G# C#C#
Screaming from the heavens
D#D# G#G#
To this earthly place I stand
D#D# G#G#
Drowning in the wreckage
I don’t know if we can
Make it whole again x8
