Intro: C Verse: C i breathe stories C i breathe them in and out F G there’s nothing like the witness of a world that’s being born C i breathe stories C my lungs are filled with pirate ships F G and towers built, and towers falling down Chorus: F i speak rivers into motion C i raise mountains with abandon G i write cities sprawling over land Am7 and people to complete them F C i tell stories of my family in a world that i have written G and my family breathes my stories -nc- C my love is etched in continents and seas Verse: C we are stories C beginnings, middles, ends F G our power lies in living lives that touch a life or two C we are stories F our families have grown to hold the lives -nc- that touch the lives G G that touch the lives that we do Chords: F we are poetry in motion C and our words give life to action G in this world we’ve built on games of chance Am7 and hours of Introspection F let our stories turn to tidal waves C that sweep our families home again G and maps are etched in memories -nc- and melodies C and who we want to be Verse: C i breathe stories C i breathe them in and out F G and stories stitched together are how families are born C we are stories F our lives are built on weaving all our stories G G into worlds we call our own Chorus: F we are power, we’re devotion C love each other with abandon G we are rivers, mountains, cities Am7 and the tapestry that holds them F my heart is in the brushstrokes C of the world that i have written G and my family breathes my stories -nc- my love is etched in continents and seas Outro: C
