[Intro]
C F C
C G C
[Verse 1]
C F C
This mornin' a miracle happened as promised
Am C
The risin' of the world's closest star
C F C
And the almanacs warned us that the fast-coming weather
Am F C
Might blow us away like dandelion flowers
[Verse 2]
F
And if I had a nickel
G
For every time I've taken shelter
C Am
From the storm, alone and naked in my bedsheets
F G
I could pay off all my loans, buy some nicer clothes
C Am
Find a job that didn't always scare me
F G
But I've been trying not to think before my third cup of coffee
[Chorus]
C
How the heart's a big tent
C
You gotta let everybody in
Am F
Doesn't matter who they are
G
If they do right or where they've been
C F C
Everybody gets in
C G C
[Verse 3]
C F C
I think I know a secret, still not really sure
Am F C
Somewhere between I'm livin' and I believe I can fly
C F C
What's up is I saw the devil in a used book store
Am G C
He was rippin' up and spittin' on Catcher in the Rye
[Verse 4]
F G
And I'm coming to myself, like a man finding religion
C Am
Am I baptized, drowned, or washed in the blood?
F G
If life's an open field, I'd like to plant a garden
C Am
And get ready for the fire and the flood
F C
I need a theory of all love
[Chorus]
C
Like the heart's a big tent
C
You gotta let everybody in
Am F
Doesn't matter who they are
G
If they do right or where they've been
C F C
Everybody gets in
C G C
[Verse 5]
C
My conclusion's not a great one
F C
I'll leave that to the smarter ones
C Am C
The soul is an idiot and it doesn't care why
C
Whatever you do with it
F C
The gift's a pretty simple one
Am
Just sing until you love yourself
F C
And love until you die
[Verse 6]
F G
I've seen the trees like pillars full of blood
C Am
Chlorophyllic laughin', swaying in their glory
F
Seen the sparrows in the air
G
Alight on branches there
C F
And there's no way they're afraid of being thirty
F G7 C
If I can't live clean, than I'd better love dirty
[Chorus]
C
'Cause the heart's a big tent
C
You gotta let everybody in
Am F
Doesn't matter who they are
G
If they do right or where they've been
C F C
Everybody gets in
C G C
[Outro]
C F C
This mornin' a miracle happened as promised
Am C
The risin' of the world's closest star
