As recorded by Sloan (From the 2022 Album STEADY) [Intro] D A D A D A D A [Verse 1]
                      D    Am
If you could grab the moon

                  D
And I'll take the river

A              D
Let's try to deliver

Am                   D     A
Some chills down the spine

                  D    Am7
I bet you're wondering

                        D
About the clouds in the sky

A                   D
And how they always pass by

Am7                 D     A
Like thieves in the night

            D
As for children

Am7                D
Having been one, I know that

A                D
Small change can be hard

Am7                  D
Like the stones from your yard
[Pre-Chorus]
D
These times are insane

        G                        Dm A
So many never getting away with it

D
I'm wearing my mask

         G                           Dm
A second summer drawing close to its end
[Chorus]
D
I know

          C
There's a pretty big part of me

     D
That tries to let go

                 Bb        C                D     A
This thing keeps hiding in corners just the same
[Verse 2]
          D
It's so depressingly sad

Am               D
How held hostage we are

A            D
By the Wi-Fi bars

    Am             D        A
And all the gas in our cars

                     D
The blinking caution light

Am                  D
The fantods howlin' skyward

D
Like it's been rigged from the start

D
There's a big hole in your heart

D
And I bet you're wondering

Am                       D
Are all the best times behind you?

D
Or are they soon to remind you?
[Pre-Chorus]
D
The sky's going out

             G                             Dm  A
So love your brothers and your sisters the same

D
I'm wearing my mask

        G                            Dm
Another changer posted, modern world game
[Chorus]
D
Why show?

          C
There's a window inside of me

     D
It's starting to snow

        Bb              C        D
Winters come and the winters go away

C                            D
Summer and spring will fall away
[Outro] Bb C D
