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
