[Intro 1]
[D]
[A]
[D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Tell us all a story
About [G]how it used to be
[D]Make it up and write it down
[A]Just like history
[D]About Goldilocks and the three bears
[A]Nature in the cross hairs
[D]And how we all ascended
From [A]the deep green [D]sea
When it's not too hot
Not too cold
Not [G]too meek
Not too bold
Where [D]it's just right and you
have [A]sunlight[D]
Then we're [C]home,[G][A]
Finally [G]home
[Bm]Home in th[G]e land of the homeless[A]
[G]Finally [D]hom[A]e[D]
[G]Oh what

[Verse 2]
are we going [A]to do
I never did a [D]thing to you
[G]Time [A]peaceful as [D]a
hurricane [Bm]eye[G]
Peaceful [A]as a [D]hurricane [A]eye[D][A][D]

[Verse 3]
A [D]history of whispers
[G]A shadow of a horse
[D]Faces painted black in sor
[A]row and re[D]morse
White cloud, black crow
[A]Crucifix and arrow
The [D]oldest silence speaks the loudest
[A]Under the deep green [D]sea

[Verse 4]
[G]When speech becomes a crime
Si[D]lence leads the spirit
Over [A]the bridge [D]of time

[Verse 5]
[C]
[G]Ove[A]r the bridge of [G]time
[Bm]I'm walking with my fami[G]ly
And the [A]road begin[Bm]s to climb
And it's [D]oh [A]Lord [G]how we
going to pray
[A]With crazy angel voices
[D]All night
Until [E]it's a new [A]day[E]
[A][E]

[Verse 6]
Peaceful [A]as a hurricane
Peaceful as a hurricane
[E]Peaceful [A]as a hurricane [E]eye
Peaceful [A]as a hurricane
Peaceful as a hurricane
[E]Peaceful [A]as a hurricane [E]eye
Peaceful [A]as a [E]hurricane eye
[A][E][A]

[Interlude 1]

[Bm][D][C][G]
[C][G][D][A][D]
[C][G][A][D]

[Verse 7]
You [D]want to be leader?
You want [C]to change the [G]game?
Turn your back on money
[A]Walk [D]away from fame
You [A]want to be a [D]missionary?
Got that [C]mission[G]ary zeal?
Let [Gm]a stranger change your life
[A]How doe[D]s it make you feel?
You want to be a writer
But you don't know [C]how [G]or when
Find a quiet place
[A]Use a [D]humble pen
[A]You want to

[Verse 8]
[D]talk talk talk about it
[C]All [G]night squawk about
The ocean and the atmo[A]sphere
[D]Wel[A]l I'v[D]e been away for a long t[C]ime[G]
And it looks like a mess [A]around [D]her[A]e
[D]I'll be away for a lon[C]g tim[G]e
So here's how the story [A]goes[D]
There was an old woman
Who lived [G]in a shoe
She was baking a [Em]cin namon p[A]ie[D][A]
[D]She fell asleep in [A]a was[G]hing machine
Woke up in a hur[A]ricane [D]eye
