   G   Em   G     C
   G   Em   G     C

Verse:
      G                 Em           G    C
I am one day older than my father was
        G           Em  G    D
Than he ever got to be
      G                 Em       G    C
I was 10 years old when I grew uuuup
           G      Em     Am  G    C
'Cause he died at fifty three

   G             C          G    C
I stared across the great divide
        G              Am  G    C
And my mother who was left
     G            Em              G    C
The dinner table stretched oceans wide
          G             Am    G    C
Like the hollow in our chests

D        Em          C
 I never asked hard questions
D                 Em    C
  thought they'd cause more pain
D         Em           C             G
 I hadn't yet learned life's holiest lesson
               Am7                           D
"That what is broken cannot heal until it's known
(nc)
And loved by name"

Chorus:
G        C
 So tell me your story
G              C
I'll tell you mine
G                   C
 You don't need to worry
G            C          G
Everything's already alright
              Em  G             C
You'll be the universe, nothing to hide
Am                        D
Anywhere you ever need to go
                G  C  G    C
I can carry us hooooooooooome

Interlude: G C G C

Verse:
       G              Em          G    C
I was taught to bury with the dea-ead
     G              Em  G    C
The presence of my grie-ief
   G               Em        G    C
I see it now, but didn't then
      G      Em    G    C
That silence is a thief

D         Em               C
 It made strangers out of friends
D              Em           C
 Robbed me of saving graces offered in unlikely places
   D              Em                C
I thought I could outrun it in the end

        Am7
When a shattered heart is desperate
    Am    D
The only respite
(nc)
Is to let somebody in

Chorus:
G         C
 Tell me your story
G              C
I'll tell you mine
G                   C
 You don't need to worry
G            C          G
Everything's already alright
              C         G           C
You'll be the universe, nothing to hide
Am                        D
Anywhere you ever need to go
                G  C  G    C  G  C  G
I can carry us hoooooooooooooooooooooome

C               G  C  G
I can carry us hoooooooome
C               G  C  G     C
I can carry us hoooome

Outro:
        G                  C          G    C
When I speak his name, my voice gives out
     G                    G    C
Even after all these years
       G                        G    C
But I want my son to know me now
       G           C       G
So my son will see my tears
G
My son will see my tears
