[Verse] Hey little brother, come here, take this song Just three chords on this old guitar, it won’t take long Strings a little rusty, frets got some wear But I swear we’ll find the music waiting there [Pre-Chorus] C to G, then back to F again Simple shapes, but they’ll carry us when— [Chorus] We play, play, play through the cracks and the noise Three chords like a secret we’ll never lose You learn, learn, learn with your fingers so small Broken guitar, but your heart plays the truth [Verse] Remember that night, backyard light glowing low Your smile searching for a sound you didn’t know I showed you the rhythm, your voice caught the change Brotherhood in every strum, rearranged [Pre-Chorus] C to G, then back to F again Simple shapes, but they’ll carry us when— [Chorus] We play, play, play through the cracks and the noise Three chords like a secret we’ll never lose You learn, learn, learn with your fingers so small Broken guitar, but your heart plays the truth [Bridge] And if the world gets heavy, and the nights are long We’ll hum our song, just those chords keeps us strong No matter the wounds, the tune’s always clear In every broken string, I’m holding you near [Chorus] We play, play, play through the cracks and the noise Three chords like a secret we’ll never lose You learn, learn, learn with your fingers so small Broken guitar, but your heart plays the truth [Outro] So here’s to the songs that are made from the dust Three chords and a dream, a quiet kind of trust
