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

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