C Em
You scuffed your sunday shoes when you leapt the fence
Am F*
to chase the wolves from your baby sister.
C Em
Who was eating dirt in the flowerbed
Am F* C
near the house where your mother hung her head
Em Am F*
and wept for the lord to fill her up like
C Em Am F*
buttermilk pancakes at sunday brunch.
Intro (x2)
C Em
the town was swept away in oceans of praise
Am F*
with talk about how we're headed home.
C Em
and how we'll all be held in the arms of
Am F*
the most selfless love
C Em Am F*
and the good that we have done is already written down
C Em Am F*
and we shall all become a phenomenon.
C E Am F*

C Em
you scuffed your sunday shoes when you leapt the fence
Am F*
to save your sister from those hungry wolves,
C E Am
but you fell the wrong way, yeah you broke your leg
F* C E Am F*
and now the animals are turning their heads, they're turning
C E Am F* C E Am F*
no, now they're turning back. they're turning back.
C Em Am F*
to take you to their den and lick your bones,
C Em Am F*
to take you down to their home and kiss all on your bones
C Em Am F*
but don't be afraid to go with them,
C Em Am F*
don't be afraid to be carried home.
C Em Am F*
the sky, it will open up, it will swallow you whole
C Em Am F* C Em Am
but don't worry my love; it will feel so nice on your soul.
F* C Em Am F*
so nice on your soul.
C Em Am F*
and you will be laid to rest by gentle hands.
C Em Am F*
and you will be sorely missed by your mother and your father and you,
C Em Am F*
you, you will become your most favorite color,
C Em Am F*
you, you will become your most favorite color
C Em Am F*
like the dinosaurs, discovered, then laid to rest.
C Em Am F*
like the dinosaurs, puzzled over, then laid to rest.
C Em Am F*
like the dinosaurs, pieced back together, and laid to rest,
C Em Am F* C
so don't you fret for your baby sister now.
