[Intro]
G C Em7 D
G C Em7 D
[Verse]
G C The first thing that you'll notice is some Em7 D separation from each other G C Em7 Yes, it's a lie; is that we've been D believing since time immemorial G C Em7 There was an apple, there was a snake, there D was division G C Em7 There was a split, there was a conflict in D G C Em7 D the fabric of life
[Verse]
G C Em7 D One became two and then everyone was out for
themselves
G C Em7 Everyone was pitted against each other; D conflict ruled the realm G C Em7 All our devotions and temperaments are D G pulled from different wells C Em7 D They seem to easily forget we are made of G C Em7 D the same cells.
[Chorus]
G C Em7 D To my boy: all that energy so wild G C Em7 D All you hues and your blues in equal measure G C Em7 D Your comings and your goings-away G C Em7 D My mission is to keep the light in your eyes G C Em7 D ablaze
[Verse]
G C Em7 The second thing you'll notice is that often D G we think that there's not enough C Em7 It might feel dark, it might feel lonely and D G you'll wonder why you're here C Em7 You may be overcome with darkness and a D G sense of hopelessness C Em7 But it won't matter if you keep your core D G C Em7 D connected to the one-ness
[Chorus]
G C Em7 D To my girl: to your innocence and fire G C Em7 When you reach out, I am here Hell or High D Water G C Em7 D This nest is never going away G C Em7 D My mission is to keep the light in your eyes G C Em7 D ablaze
[Bridge]
Bm G And this cord is unbreakable. Em Dsus2 This pilot light is there in your pocket Bm G And this bond, beyond un-shakeable Em Dsus2 G Even if we all forget, all at the same time, C Em7 D All at the same time. G C Em7 D G C Em7 C If we forget at the same time.
[Verse]
G C The tenth thing you might notice is that Em7 D everyone has fantasies G C Em7 Different perspectives they would likely D G fight over who is right and C Em7 Who is the best? Who has won? Who's better D than the other? G C Em7 None of that will matter much when you D G C Em7 return to your place in the sun D G C Em7 D Your place in the sun
[Verse]
G C Em7 D To my girl: all your innocence and fire G C Em7 When you reach out, I am here Hell or High D Water G C Em7 D This nest is never going away G C Em7 My mission is to keep the light in your D eyes...
[Verse]
G C Em7 D To my boy, all that energy so wild G C Em7 D Love your hues and your blues in equal
measure
G C Em7 D Your comings and your goings-away G C Em7 D My mission is to keep the light in your eyes G C Em7 D ablaze G C The first thing that you'll notice is that Em7 D G C Em7 D everything is temporary G C Em7 The next you might notice is that we will D G C Em7 D always be a family G C Em7 D My mission is to keep the light in your eyes G ablaze
