 [VERSE ONE]
       G              C             G C 
 I am one day older than my father was, 
           G          C G C 
 than he ever got to be
       G             C           G C 
 I was  years old when I grew up, 
            G     C G C 
 cause he died at 53

     G     C                  G C 
 I stared across the great divide, 
         G            C  G C
 at my mother who was left
      G             C               G C 
 The dinner table stretched oceans wide, 
            G           C  G C 
 like the hollow in our chests

 D        Em             C 
 I never asked hard questions, 
 D                 Em      C 
 I thought they'd cause more pain
 D         Em            C              G/B
 I hadn't yet learned life's holiest lesson:
                Am 
 "That what is broken cannot heal
              D                   G  
 Until it's known and loved by name"

 [CHORUS]
              C         G               C 
 So tell me your story, I'll tell you mine
  G             C          G             C 
 You don't need to worry, everything's already alright
   G            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 home
 
 [VERSE TWO]
        G          Em               G C 
 I was taught to bury with the dead 
        G              Em G C 
 the presence of my grief
    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
         Am  
 When a shattered heart is desperate, 
            D                         12 
 the only respite is to let somebody in

 [CHORUS]
                 C                 G C 
 Tell me your story, I'll tell you mine
  G             C          G             C 
 You don't need to worry, everything's already alright
   G            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 home
  
 [OUTRO]

 When I speak his name, my voice gives out

 Even after all these years

 But I want my son to know now

 So my son will see my tears

 My son will see my tears
