Lyrics
The pressure of your thumb on my third fret
A bead of sweat drips from your St. Jude's chain
The air outside smells thick with last night's regret
It's 3:47 in my grain again
You're trying to graft a new leaf on a dying vine
Tracing the cracks in the ceiling for a sign
[Chorus]
You just need a new chord
Something to hold on
Let the bad soil turn to a good song
Let my six strings pull up the dawn
[Verse 2]
The condensation from your glass of sweet tea
Is leaving a cold circle on my back
You mutter, "'It's just a season,' you told me"
Then you tighten your grip 'til the varnish could crack
You're looking for a root to hold in this borrowed ground
But all you're making is a lonely sound
[Chorus]
You just need a new chord
Something to hold on
Let the bad soil turn to a good song
Let my six strings pull up the dawn
[Bridge]
And then a low G-flat hums in my chest
You found the note you couldn't find before
You're finding the root, forgetting the rest
You're not invisible anymore
[Chorus]
(Key Change Up)
You just found the new chord
Something to hold on
Let the bad soil turn to a good song
Let my six strings pull up the dawn
[Outro]
Your thumb finds the rhythm
And finally lets go
