Intro (x2): Ab Db Fm7 Eb

Verse:
    Ab                       Db
The first thing that you'll notice is some
Fm7        Eb
separation from each other
Ab            Db                 Fm7
Yes, it's a lie; is that we've been
                 Eb
believing since time immemorial
Ab             Db           Fm7
There was an apple, there was a snake, there
Eb
was division
Ab           Db                  Fm7
There was a split, there was a conflict in
    Eb             Ab  Db  Fm7  Eb
the fabric of life

Verse:
Ab          Db            Fm7               Eb
One became two and then everyone was out for

themselves
Ab             Db                  Fm7
Everyone was pitted against each other;
         Eb
conflict ruled the realm
Ab          Db              Fm7
All our devotions and temperaments are
       Eb                   Ab
pulled from different wells
             Db            Fm7      Eb
They seem to easily forget we are made of
              Ab  Db  Fm7  Eb
the same cells.

Chorus:
       Ab Db          Fm7       Eb
To my boy: all that energy so wild
        Ab   Db          Fm7      Eb
All you hues and your blues in equal measure
     Fm7               Eb        Db
Your comings and your goings-away
   Fm7             Eb        Db           Eb
My mission is to keep the light in your eyes
      Ab  Db  Fm7  Eb
ablaze

Verse:
    Ab                   Db              Fm7
The second thing you'll notice is that often
         Eb                   Ab
we think that there's not enough
              Db                   Fm7
It might feel dark, it might feel lonely and
        Eb                Ab
you'll wonder why you're here
            Db            Fm7
You may be overcome with darkness and a
Eb                   Ab
sense of hopelessness
             Db             Fm7
But it won't matter if you keep your core
 Eb                      Ab  Db Fm7 Eb
connected to the one-ness

Chorus:
      Ab   Db           Fm7          Eb
To my girl: to your innocence and fire
         Ab        Db           Fm7
When you reach out, I am here Hell or High
Eb
Water
     Fm7               Eb        Db
This nest is never going away
   Fm7             Eb        Db           Eb
My mission is to keep the light in your eyes
 Ab
ablaze

Bridge:
         Eb         Bbm
And this cord is unbreakable.
     Db                            Ab
This pilot light is there in your pocket
         Eb               Bbm
And this bond, beyond un-shakeable
Db                  Eb                     Ab   Db
Even if we all forget, all at the same time,
Fm7         Eb            Ab    Db Fm7 Eb
If we forget at the same time.

Verse:
      Ab   Db           Fm7          Eb
To my boy, my precious, gentle warrior
         Ab        Db           Fm7           Eb
To your sweetness and your strength in exploring
     Fm7               Eb        Db

Water
     Fm7           Eb        Db
This nest is never going away
Fm7             Eb        Db
My mission is to keep the light in your
Eb       Ab  Db Fm7 Eb
eyes...

           Ab           Db           Fm7                    Eb
(To my boy) First thing that you'll notice is that everything is temporary
           Ab           Db           Fm7                    Eb
(To my girl) Next that you might now is that we will always be a family
