        G
It's a blue day
               F
We could jump bully
        G
When I hit that water
         F
When it holds me
                  G
I think about my father
           F
Doing the same thing
               G
When he was a boy
               F
When he was a boy

         G
It's a blue day
           F
We can go fishing
        G
You'll catch the big one
Ah-ah
  G
Sliding the knife under the skin
                     F
Grateful for this offering
              G
And all the living things
          F
Under the sun
           G  F
Under the sun

Little brother, I think you're an angel
I see your silver chain levitate
When you're kickflipping
Baby boy, you're super cool
I know you're scared, so was I
But all will be revealed in time (Time, time)

Oh, look, the rays are in the bay now
Can you hear the waves and the cicadas all around?
I can make anything real
Brain so hot, it's a summer body
Every day is blue and never cloudy
Don't look down
I can make anything real

G
In the future
             F
If I have a daughter
       G
Will she have my waist?
       F
Or my widow's peak?
                                G           F
My dreamer's disposition or my wicked streak?

           G
Will she swear to die with her lover?
                               F
Laugh with the stars like her mother,
                G                    F
When she was a girl, when she was a girl?

G
Now the cherry black lipstick's
                      F
gathering dust in a drawer
         C           G
I don't need her anymore
                  F
Cause I got this power
               G
Just had to breathe
     F
I'm doin it
              G
Just had to breathe
     F
I'm doin it
                G
I just had to breathe
     F
I'm doing it
                G
I just had to breathe
     F
I'm doing it
              G    F
Just had to breathe

Chorus:
Bm                 A
Was enlightenment found?
             Bm                    D
No, but I'm trying, taking it one year at a time
Bm                        A
Oh, oh, can you hear the sound?
                 Bm
It's shimmering higher
                     D
On the beach, I'm building a pyre
(you sew a boat in by the tide)
Bm                           A
I, I, I know you'll show me how
                     Bm                  Gmaj7
I'll know when it's time to take off my ropes
                    D
And step into the choir
