G Well when I was 5, my mama told me that A D One day we're all gonna die G A D Of all places, it was in a fast food joint at night G F#m That left me with a bad taste in my mouth D G A D And a knack for existential spinning out D "How'd that come to pass?" You may ask B7 As the full moon appeared to leer and loom G A D Well on the stage of a church in a kiddie pool G A D She and my dad were born again G F#m D B7 G A D I was an audience member beside my little sister and I didn't understand B7 And they were my age then, the age that I am G A D So I guess I get it better now G A D Oh, the pangs of fear, the fear of being alone G A D Of dying young or growing old G A D Before realizing the purpose of your soul D It was with a milkshake in her hand that B7 My mama mentioned the second coming G A That as believers, we would be lifted to a D Brilliant kingdom in the sky G A And I couldn't fathom a place of light D High above the desert night G F#m D B7 But as an impassioned follower of my beautiful mother G A D I put all of my faith in her G A D You and I, we both swing in and out of fear for the future G A D We lean into the sky, we're looking for that answer G A D You and I, we both swing in and out of fear for the future G A D We lean into the sky, we're looking for the answers G A D I can see a romance in the reaching, and a tenderness in believing G A D We lean into the sky, we're looking for the answers B7 But Mama, you didn't inspire a heavenly desire G A D Just an urge to hold my life a little tighter G A D Just an urge to hold my life a little tighter G A D Just an urge to hold my life a little tighter
