Verse 1
I never got (G major) to kiss your head, (C major) ah, (F major) Emme
And the call (A minor) came the (G major) week I got di (F major) vorced
I (C major) thought I had a (G major) real (F major) understanding
then of loss (C major)
(A minor) But I didn't know a (G major) thing 'til you
were (F major) gone
(A minor) And I'm tired of trying to find (G major) some sort
of (C major) meaningful thing
(F major) In making sense (A minor) of such
(G major) unspeakable loss (F major)
(A minor) But as I'm staring at your folks,
(G major) the sweetest (C major) people I (F major) know
I get a glimpse (A minor) of what it is (G major) to be strong (F major)
Just holding hands and (A minor) sobbing
with (G major) sunglasses (C major) on
Verse 2
'Cause (F major) nothing tuned (C major) me in
to absurdity as fast
As a (F major) gravestone with the name (C major) of
(A minor) a baby that has (G major) passed
I used (F major) to wanna be important,
(C major) now I just (A minor) wanna be alive (G major)
And without (F major) fear (G major)
You got to persevere
(C major) (G major)

(G major) (C major) (F major) (C major) (F major) (C major)
Verse 3
I (C major) couldn't coun
(G major) t the times I've ragged (C major) on (F major) heaven
As an opi (A minor) ate in (G major) vented by the weak
(F major) It's (C major) an argument (G major) I hate 'cause I'm
content (F major) to love the fates (C major)
But it comes (A minor) up a lot (G major) with
Emme's dad and me (F major)
So I'm (A minor) shotgun in the car (G major) and
we're just shoot (C major) ing the (F major) shit
And (A minor) predictably, the talking (G major) turns to God (F major)
So I throw (A minor) him forty lines (G major) how
I don't think (C major) he ex (F major) ists
And he just smiles (A minor) and takes
(G major) a dignified pause (F major)
Says, "It's okay (A minor) to feel
unbe (G major) lievably lost" (C major)
Verse 4
But (F major) God is full of grace (C major) and
his faith (F major) fulness is vast (C major)
There is safety (F major) (C major) in the moments
when the (A minor) shit has hit the fan
(G major) Not some vin (F major) dictive motherfucker,
(C major) nor is he (A minor) shitty at his job
(G major) What words (F major) to hear (G major)
And I'm a mess by now
'Cause (F major) nothing tuned (C major) me in to
my fail (F major) ure as fast (C major)
As griev (F major) ing for a friend (C major) with more
belief (A minor) than I possessed
(G major) "It's not some (F major) disembodied
heaven," (C major) he as (A minor) sured me
(G major) Then he laughs and says
through (F major) tears (G major)
"You got to (C major) persevere"
(F major) Persevere (C major) (F major) (C major)
Persevere (F major) (C major)
(F major) Persevere (C major)

(C major) (A minor) (G major)
Verse 5
We threw a (F major) party up in here, (C major)
but God, (A minor) it was (G major) bittersweet
I live (F major) hard 'cause I am scared (C major)
that I won't (A minor) mean (G major) anything
So now I'm pray (F major) ing to the ceiling,
(C major) to the win (A minor) dows, (G major) to the walls
Against this (F major) sudden sink (C major) ing feeling that
there's (A minor) nothing there (G major) at all
And still (F major)
(C major) We just persevere
