Verse 

        Bm7 
This is one of those moments 
When all that really matters 
A 
Is crystal clear 
       Bm7 
We are woven together 
By whatever threads of life that have 
A 
Brought us here 
       D 
We are stripped of all our layers 
       A 
We are getting to the core 
Bm7 
Tell me something real 
            E7 
And nothing more 

Chorus 
A                  Bm7 
Cause I don't know why 
E7           A 
I don't know how 
F#m          Bm7 
I don't know where 
      E7            A 
Baby all I know is now 

       Bm7 
So I'm here between the bookends 
                           A 
Of everything that was and what will be 
          Bm7 
There's a wealth of information 
But not so many answers 
A 
It seems to me 
     D 
So I face the unfamiliar 
     A 
And nothing is clear 
     Bm7                              E7 
Only blinding faith can carry me from here 


A                  Bm7 
Cause I don't know why 
E7           A 
I don't know how 
F#m          Bm7 
I don't know where 
      E7            A 
Baby all I know is now 

B7 
Hold my hand and hold this moment 
A 
Time sure feels precious don't it 
D 
Life is always changing 
       E7 
This I know 

 
A                  Bm7 
Cause I don't know why 
E7           A 
I don't know how 
F#m          Bm7 
I don't know where 
      E7            A 
Baby all I know is now 

Outro 
     E7            A 
Baby all I know is now
