Verse 1
D 
 (D major) All around us,
the ground is opening up
With a terrible thirst
And it's swallowing down
all the hope in this town
Em 
Of the way that we were  (E minor) 
D 
 (D major) There's a smoldering pie
Where there once was a light
Where there once was a home
Now the only safe place,
takes a village of strength,
G

we can't do it alone.  (G major)  (D major)

A

when the wolf comes  (A major) to  (B minor) blow.  (C major)  (G major) 
Em 
If we build our  (E minor) house with
D 
mortar an (D major) d  stone

And they're gathering up, forming a wall
And the mortar within
is the time that we've spent to
G

 (E minor) And it's a daily burden
G

Bm 
 (B minor) Al  ways some hole in the roof
D 
 (D major) Letting the rain get through
Em 
 (E minor) But when it just won't stop
G 
 (G major) The creek is rising up
Bm 
 (B minor) Running over the bay
D 
 (D major) Can't keep the flood away
Em 
G 
D 
Oh,  (E minor) oh, oh,  (G major) oh, oh, oh, oh, oh  (D major) 
But when the water recedes
We're still standing right here
G
