Acoustic version of her live performance in Shawnee OK, 2018.
Intro:
G+G C majorC E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
G+G C majorC E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
Verse:
G+G C majorC
The first thing that you'll notice is some
E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
separation from each other
G+G C majorC E minor 7Em7
Yes, it's a lie; is that we've been
D MajorD
believing since time immemorial
G+G C majorC E minor 7Em7
There was an apple, there was a snake, there
D MajorD
was division
G+G C majorC E minor 7Em7
There was a split, there was a conflict in
D MajorD G+G C majorC E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
the fabric of life
Verse:
G+G C majorC E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
One became two and then everyone was out for
themselves
G+G C majorC E minor 7Em7
Everyone was pitted against each other;
D MajorD
conflict ruled the realm
G+G C majorC E minor 7Em7
All our devotions and temperaments are
D MajorD G+G
pulled from different wells
C majorC E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
They seem to easily forget we are made of
G+G C majorC E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
the same cells.
Chorus:
G+G C majorC E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
To my boy: all that energy so wild
G+G C majorC E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
All you hues and your blues in equal measure
G+G C majorC E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
Your comings and your goings-away
G+G C majorC E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
My mission is to keep the light in your eyes
G+G C majorC E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
ablaze
Verse:
G+G C majorC E minor 7Em7
The second thing you'll notice is that often
D MajorD G+G
we think that there's not enough
C majorC E minor 7Em7
It might feel dark, it might feel lonely and
D MajorD G+G
you'll wonder why you're here
C majorC E minor 7Em7
You may be overcome with darkness and a
D MajorD G+G
sense of hopelessness
C majorC E minor 7Em7
But it won't matter if you keep your core
D MajorD G+G C majorC E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
connected to the one-ness
Chorus:
G+G C majorC E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
To my girl: to your innocence and fire
G+G C majorC E minor 7Em7
When you reach out, I am here Hell or High
D MajorD
Water
G+G C majorC E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
This nest is never going away
G+G C majorC E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
My mission is to keep the light in your eyes
G+G C majorC E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
ablaze
Bridge:
B minorBm G+G
And this cord is unbreakable.
E minorEm Dsus2Dsus2
This pilot light is there in your pocket
B minorBm G+G
And this bond, beyond un-shakeable
E minorEm Dsus2Dsus2 G+G
Even if we all forget, all at the same time,
C majorC E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
All at the same time.
G+G C majorC E minor 7Em7 D MajorD G+G C majorC E minor 7Em7 C majorC
If we forget at the same time.
Verse:
G+G C majorC
The tenth thing you might notice is that
E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
everyone has fantasies
G+G C majorC E minor 7Em7
Different perspectives they would likely
D MajorD G+G
fight over who is right and
C majorC E minor 7Em7
Who is the best? Who has won? Who's better
D MajorD
than the other?
G+G C majorC E minor 7Em7
None of that will matter much when you
D MajorD G+G C majorC E minor 7Em7
return to your place in the sun
D MajorD G+G C majorC E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
Your place in the sun
Verse:
G+G C majorC E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
To my girl: all your innocence and fire
G+G C majorC E minor 7Em7
When you reach out, I am here Hell or High
D MajorD
Water
G+G C majorC E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
This nest is never going away
G+G C majorC E minor 7Em7
My mission is to keep the light in your
D MajorD
eyes...
Verse:
G+G C majorC E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
To my boy, all that energy so wild
G+G C majorC E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
Love your hues and your blues in equal
measure
G+G C majorC E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
Your comings and your goings-away
G+G C majorC E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
My mission is to keep the light in your eyes
G+G C majorC E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
ablaze
G+G C majorC
The first thing that you'll notice is that
E minor 7Em7 D MajorD G+G C majorC E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
everything is temporary
G+G C majorC E minor 7Em7
The next you might notice is that we will
D MajorD G+G C majorC E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
always be a family
G+G C majorC E minor 7Em7 D MajorD
My mission is to keep the light in your eyes
G+G
ablaze
