[Verse 1]
               A
Well I'm sittin' here
 just
                C#m
smilin' to myself
         D
A deep deep
     A       C#m  D
satisfaction
         A
The day after a
 hurricane the
     C#m
important things
    D
you see
With no
   A         C#m  D
distractions
And from the
   A
outside
lookin' in
We probably look
C#m
like some
   D
crazy circus
   A         C#m  D
 attraction


[Pre Chorus]
     E
We've come so far
      E
Still got a
 ways to go
        E
There's one thing
on my mind
        E
There's one thing
 I know

[Verse 2]
     A
Well we've been

          C#m
 and high water
          D
Thick and thin,

life
        A

ride


[Pre Chorus]
    E
Yeah we've come

A
Oh nothin' beats
those moments
      C#m
Oh so rare and
      D
poetic and
  A     C#m  D
so true

Listenin' to the
sound of laughter

Shoutin', playin',
     D
fightin' and lovin'
A    C#m  D

         E
And it's takin'
