Chords Hold Us Together (Version 2)

Verse

Synth layer stacks where the kick used to be

Your shoulder finds the space next to me

Four bodies deep, then the fifth one arrives

Chest to my chest till the low end climbs

Hand lifts up, finds the curve of my spine

Someone else's palm falls right into time

The chord builds slow, note laid on note

Your sway locks in like it's written for both

Pre-Chorus

Is it the key or the way we align

Do we need a reason or just the right time

Chorus

Chords hold us together

Stack up, stay close

Chords hold us together

Skin on the low

Chords hold us together

Let the layers grow

Chords hold us together, chords hold us together

Verse

Room fills in, every hand finds a place

Strangers turn chorus, no one out of pace

Your wrist on my wrist, the harmony bends

Floor keeps the count where the song never ends

Light drops gold on the crowd like it's paint

Nobody's leading, nobody's the same

We fall into thirds, we lean into fifths

Bodies keep building the shape of the mix

Pre-Chorus

Is it the key or the way we align

Do we need a reason or just the right time

Chorus

Chords hold us together

Stack up, stay close

Chords hold us together

Skin on the low

Chords hold us together

Let the layers grow

Chords hold us together, chords hold us together

Bridge

Strip it back down, just the bass and your hand

One note left standing, still we understand

No crowd, no lights, just the hum in your chest

Prove that a chord don't need all of the rest

Chorus

Chords hold us together

Stack up, stay close

Chords hold us together

Skin on the low

Chords hold us together

Let the layers grow

Chords hold us together, chords hold us together
