Intro:


Cm  Gm
Cm  F   x2

Verse:

Cm               Gm
You carved our initials
Cm               F
Into these family trees
Cm                       Gm
But when the branches are bare and broken
Cm                F
Love is so hard to reach

Interlude:

Eb  Cm  Eb  Cm


Bridge:

 Cm              Bb Dm        Bb      Dm
We've learned to brace for the worst
   Gm Dm Eb
And to
  Bb          Dm  Bb        Dm
To read the last pages first
          F
Surrender feels safe

Chorus:

Eb                                         Gm
Maybe the soul is the soil that holds the fallen seed
Eb
Or the light pouring down in between the rain clouds
       Bb        F
Daring life to reach
Eb                             F
Or maybe it's the rings in the trunk of the tree
   Gm                Dm
A birthmark time will leave
Eb              F
 To measure the past


Interlude:

Eb  Cm  Eb  Cm


Bridge:

 Gm                     F
But we can't dream when we're wide awake
Gm                     Dm                  Gm      Dm Gm Cm
Or fall in love with a heart too strong to break
         Bb Dm        Bb    Dm
Faith is expensive to taste
   Gm  F  Cm
And time
        Bb  Dm          Bb    Dm
Time is borrowed loose change
       Bb      F
That's already been spent


Chorus:

Eb                   Gm
Maybe the soul is the tone of voice
Eb                     F         Gm     Dm
That unearthed the words that we needed
Eb                                           Gm         Dm
Maybe the soul is a suitcase that holds the backup plan
Eb                            F
A collection of keys and the patience we need
     Bb    F
To start again
Eb                             F
Maybe it's the thresholds that swallow us whole
   Gm              Dm
As we learn to let go
Eb               F           Bb
In spite of the dirt on our clothes
