[Verse 1]
Em Bm7 Split-level ranch on a mid-level street C G D/F# Mailboxes huddled where the cul-de-sac meets Em Bm7 C Em And nothing ever happens, so we're led to believe Em Bm7 So I couldn't believe it as I opened the door Cmaj7 G D/F# I'd never imagined something like that before Em Bm7 Cmaj7 Em And though it was real, it was so much more
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 D6 Em She says the world's ending, but it's ending all the time D6 Noah's children Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Come out of the water, little wiser down the line
[Verse 2]
Em Bm7 Between him and me, I should've got some gone C G D/F# Always whistling his little song Em Bm7 C Em Thought he had us in his pocket, girl, he got that wrong Em Bm7 All the way to the water, she just sat and stared C G D/F# Perfume that he bought her still caught in her hair Em Bm7 C Em And neither of us talking 'bout what we got back there
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 D6 Em She says the world's ending, but it's ending all the time D6 Noah's children Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Come out of the water, little wiser down the line Em Bm7 Cmaj7 D6 Mother Mary, Mother Mary, Mother Mary, Mother Mary Em D6 Mother Mary, I ain't asked Em D6 Much from you now that time's passed Em D6 Forgive your sisters for what they'll do Em D6 Em 'Cause you'd have done the same thing too
[Post-Chorus]
Bm7 C G (Same, same thing) D/F# Em Bm7 C G D/F# Same thing (Same, same thing) Em Bm7 C G D/F# (Same, same thing) Em Bm7 C Em (Same, same thing)

[Verse 3]
Em Bm7 Easter time, and the world is new C G D/F# Lilies of the valley and the daffodils bloom Em Bm7 C Em And the stone rolled away and the angels singing Em Bm7 We're back up to the river in the pickup truck C G D/F# He'll be dead for forever, and he ain't getting up Em Bm7 C Em But if he ever comes back, better come back swinging
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 D6 Em She says the world's ending, but it's ending all the time D6 Noah's children Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Come out of the water, little wiser down the line Em Bm7 Cmaj7 D6 Mother Mary, Mother Mary, Mother Mary, Mother Mary Em D6 Mother Mary, I ain't asked Em D6 Much from you now that time's passed Em D6 Forgive your sisters for what they'll do Em D6 Em 'Cause you'd have done the same thing too
[Outro]
Bm7 C G D/F# (Same, same thing) Same thing Em Bm7 C Em (Same, same thing)
