         C#m                  G#/C
Did the day go just like you wanted
        B                     F#/A#
Or did you hold on with your fingernails
            F#m/A                   C#m/G#
There were white hot days in your youth
        G#7
Not anymore

What's the point if we never learn
What's the point without the feeling
When the tears roll down on your cheek
You know you're alive

Chorus:
         E                       B
Let the rain pour down, let the winter come
           F#m                  C#m
You won't find your peace in a perfect home
         D                 G#7
And the perfect man has a crack
  D                      G#7
Trust him to never come back

Let the boy be unfettered and bold
Let the boy reach out for the infinite
When he's lost in confusion and doubt
You know what to do

And you know it's gonna be rough
But you never run from the gravity
He's a long-haired bottle of doubt
But he's yours

Chorus

         C#m                     G#/C
And the dreams that you try to find
           B                       F#/A#
When you close your eyes, when the world is silent
F#m/A                C#m/G#
Give yourself to a mystery
     F#m/A            C#m/G#
Open up to warm possibility
         F#m/A                   C#m/G#
You are blessed, not ragged, not lost
                G#7
As long as you love
