Verse
Bm7
This is one of those moments
When all that really matters
A
Is crystal clear
Bm7
We are woven together
By whatever threads of life that have
A
Brought us here
D
We are stripped of all our layers
A
We are getting to the core
Bm7
Tell me something real
E7
And nothing more
Chorus

Cause I don't know why

I don't know how
F#m Bm7
I don't know where
E7 A
Baby all I know is now
Bm7
So I'm here between the bookends
A
Of everything that was and what will be
Bm7
There's a wealth of information
But not so many answers
A
It seems to me
D
So I face the unfamiliar
A
And nothing is clear
Bm7 E7
Only blinding faith can carry me from here
[Refrão]

Time sure feels precious don't it

This I know
