[Intro]
G
[Verse]
G
i breathe stories
G
i breathe them in and out
C D4
there’s nothing like the witness of a world that’s being born
G
i breathe stories
G
my lungs are filled with pirate ships
C D4
and towers built, and towers falling down
[Chorus]
C
i speak rivers into motion
G
i raise mountains with abandon
D4
i write cities sprawling over land
Em7
and people to complete them
C G
i tell stories of my family in a world that i have written
D4
and my family breathes my stories
N.C. G
my love is etched in continents and seas
[Verse]
G
we are stories
G
beginnings, middles, ends
C D4
our power lies in living lives that touch a life or two
G
we are stories
C
our families have grown to hold the lives
N.C.
that touch the lives
D4 D
that touch the lives that we do
[Chords]
C
we are poetry in motion
G
and our words give life to action
D4
in this world we’ve built on games of chance
Em7
and hours of introspection
C
let our stories turn to tidal waves
G
that sweep our families home again
D4
and maps are etched in memories
N.C.
and melodies
G
and who we want to be
[Verse]
G
i breathe stories
G
i breathe them in and out
C D4
and stories stitched together are how families are born
G
we are stories
C
our lives are built on weaving all our stories
D4 D
into worlds we call our own
[Chorus]
C
we are power, we’re devotion
G
love each other with abandon
D4
we are rivers, mountains, cities
Em7
and the tapestry that holds them
C
my heart is in the brushstrokes
G
of the world that i have written
D4
and my family breathes my stories
N.C.
my love is etched in continents and seas
