 Section 1:
 
 D                         G                
 Tell us all a story about how it used to be
 D                                 A               D 
 Make it up and then write it down just like history
                                      A                       
 About Goldilocks and the three bears nature in the crosshairs
     D                            A          D  
 And how we all ascended from the deep green sea
                                              G                 
 When it's not too hot, not too cold, not too meek, not too bold
            D                       A       D 
 Where it's just right and you have sunlight
 
            6/8 
 Section 2: 
            D    Em A7 
 Then we're home 
         G   D 
 Finally home
             Em                  A7        G   
 Home in the land of the homeless, finally home
 D    G                       A 
  Oh, what are we going to do?
               D           
 I never did a thing to you
 G  A          D              Bm 
 Time peaceful as a hurricane eye
 G        A            D    
 Peaceful as a hurricane eye
 
            4/4 
 Section 1: 
   D                      G                
 A history of whispers, a shadow of a horse
 D                      A            D    
 Faces painted black in sorrow and remorse
 D                        A                 
 White cloud, black crow, crucifix and arrow
     D                                
 The oldest silence speaks the loudest
 A                    D         G                     
 Under the deep green sea, when speech becomes a crime
 D                                 A         D   
 Silence leads the spirit over the bridge of time
 
 Section 2.1:

  | D | Em |
 A7                 G    D                    Em    
 Over the bridge of time, I'm walking with my family
         A              G    
 And the road begins to climb
 D                        G                   
 And then it's, oh, Lord, how we going to pray
      A                  D        
 With crazy angel voices all night

 Until it's a new day
 
 E                      
 Peaceful as a hurricane
 E                      
 Peaceful as a hurricane
 E                          
 Peaceful as a hurricane eye
 E                      
 Peaceful as a hurricane

 Peaceful as a hurricane

 Peaceful as a hurricane eye

 Peaceful as a hurricane eye

 You want to be leader? You want to change the game?
                                      A  D   
 Turn your back on money, walk away from fame
 D                                               C    G    
 You want to be a missionary? You got that missionary zeal?
                                                  A   D    
 Let a stranger change your life. How's that make you feel?
 D                                               C  G   
 You want to be a writer, but you don't know how or when
                              A   D  
 Find a quiet place, use a humble pen
 
 Section 4:
 2/2 
 
 D                                    
 You want to talk, talk, talk about it
           C      G    
 All night squawk about
                        A    D 
 The ocean and the atmosphere
                            C    G   
 Well, I've been away for a long time
                          A D         
 And it looks like a mess a-round here
                        C    G   
 And I'll be away for a long time
                   A     D   
 So here's how the story goes
                            C          G   
 There was an old woman who lived in a shoe
                       A   D  
 She was baking a cinnamon pie
                      C         G    
 She fell asleep in a washing machine
                   A    D  
 Woke up in a hurricane eye
