[Intro] G C G G C G Em C G C G Em C G [Verse 1]
         G         C          G
We will call this place our home,

         G         C          G
the dirt in which our roots may grow.

        Em         C          G
though the storms will push and pull,

       Em          C         G
we will call this place our home.
[Verse 2]
                  G    C          G
We'll tell our stories on these walls.

       G       C          G
every year, measure how tall.

           Em     C      G
and just like a work of art,

                 Em    C         G
we'll tell our stories on these walls.
[Chorus]
         C          Em       G        D
Let the years we're here be kind, be kind.

        C             Em          G          D
Let our hearts, like doors, open wide, open wide.

            Em         D         C          G
Settle our bones like wood over time, over time.

          Em            C              G
Give us bread, give us salt, give us wine.
[Verse 3]
           G       C       G
A little broken, a little new.

             G    C        G
We are the impact and the glue.

    Em          C        G
Capable of more than we know,

              Em    C     G
we call this fixer-upper home.
[Verse 4]
           G         C     G
With each year, our color fades.

   G          C          G
Slowly, our paint chips away.

             Em        C
But we will find the strength

        G         D
and the nerve it takes

     Em          D            C     D     G
to repaint and repaint and repaint every day.
[Chorus]
         C          Em       G        D
Let the years we're here be kind, be kind.

        C             Em          G          D
Let our hearts, like doors, open wide, open wide.

            Em         D         C          G
Settle our bones like wood over time, over time.

          Em            C              G
Give us bread, give us salt, give us wine.
[Chorus]
         C          Em       G        D
Let the years we're here be kind, be kind.

        C             Em          G          D
Let our hearts, like doors, open wide, open wide.

            Em         D         C          G
Settle our bones like wood over time, over time.

          Em            C              G
Give us bread, give us salt, give us wine.
[Outro]
         G     C           G
Smaller than dust on this map

          G         C      G
lies the greatest thing we have:

              Em       C         G
The dirt in which our roots may grow

         Em        C       G
and the right to call it home.
