Chords

Kindred [Verse 1]
Dm         Am               A#       F
[tab]Gm         A#          F                C
We treaded water underneath the ocean's skin

Dm          Am             A#     F
And then he washed away my sins

Gm         A#            F               C
He held me closer as the tide was coming in
[Pre-Chorus] (note in case this is confusing at all, the Am, E/Dm(Dm with an E in the base), and C chords are all transition chords, so you play them two beats before the next chord. The rest of the chords play with 6 beats)
         A#             Am Gm
But then why, what could I say?

      C       Dm      E/Dm F
What would it mean?

C          A#       Am Gm
Cause then I, I'd give away

         C     Dm      E/Dm F      C
All the love I need
[Chorus]
A#
Just a child, always waiting

C
All along he elevated

Dm
He stayed put while I was wandering

F
Gone so long he started wondering

A#  Am Gm  C
Why,       I got lost
[Verse 2]
Dm         Am               A#      F
My brother taught me how to give

Gm             A#            F             C
He spreads his love until it stretches too thin

Dm       Am            A#      F
Oh how I wanna be like him

Gm        A#               F                     C
He takes away the weight before your heart gives in
[Pre-Chorus]
         A#             Am Gm
But then why, what could I say?

     C        Dm      E/Dm F
What would it mean?

C          A#       Am Gm
Cause then I, I'd give away

         C     Dm      E/Dm F      C
All the love I need
[Chorus]
A#
Just a child, always waiting

C
All along he elevated

Dm
He stayed put while I was wandering

F
Gone so long he started wondering

A#  Am Gm  C     A#       C    
Why,       I got lost
[Bridge]
      A#       C
I got lost

      A#
I got lost

                             C
If I love the way my brother loves (I got lost)

Dm                          E/Dm F           C
None of it would happen like the way that it was
[Outro] A# C A# C
