Verse 1
 
E                               A 
Why don't we, go slow below the valley clouds 
               C#m              A  B  A 
Our edges worn round and sacred now 
E                              A 
All in time, all promises were not the same 
                       C#m                      A  B  A 
We left flowers in the field and our tears were plain

C#m               A 
Bend to the wind, it'll baptize your skin 
           E        B 
Until your music is tender 
C#m                     A 
Tender as trees for the truth we believe 
        E       B 
Its the wind we remember 
 
Chorus 1
 
E 
We were overcome  
A                              E                          
Spinning in the wheels hitting bottom in the well spring mud 
A             C#m                     
Crying to the cold until we felt the sun 
A             E                             B  A 
Home was up a hill but our weary legs could run- 
E 
When we closed our eyes 
A                                E 
We could see the serpent and the savior laying side by side 
A            C#m                       
Heaven was a corner where we tried to hide 
A                   E                           B  A  E 
Our running will be long and our river would be wild 
 
Verse 2
 
E                                 A 
Feel this flag, lets ring another freedom bell 
                      C#m                  A  B  A 
Our backs were to the sound but its sermon held 
E                                    A 
All things wild, draw cups until the waters cold 
                 C#m                       A  B  A 
Our memories are Christ and our hearts are clothes

C#m               A 
Bend to the wind, it'll baptize our skin 
          E        B 
Until our music is tender 
C#m                     A 
Tender as trees for the tears when we leave 
         E          B 
It's the wind we'll remember 
 
Chorus 2
 
E 
We'll be overcome 
A                              E   
Spinning in the wheels hitting bottom in the wellspring mud 
A             C#m     
Crying to the cold until we feel the sun 
A            E                              B  A 
Home is up a hill where our weary legs will run- 
E 
When we close our eyes 
A                                E 
See the serpent and her favorite savior laying side by side 
A            C#m   
Every heaven only you and I can find 
A                   E                      B  A  E    
Our running will be long and river will be wild

Verse 3
 
E                                     A 
Bells come back, we'll name a star we know all night 
                   C#m                    A  B  A 
What valley is our claim when our coin is sky
