Introdução: Am
Am
The first time that the beat drops in the bar
It's gonna be biblical
Am
So sound the alarms and the sirens,
the bells in the churches
Am
Bring your parents and your kids into
the street, throw open the hatches
C
I've been missing the feeling
Dm Am
when we close up the gaps between us
C Dm
It's better than the best, benediction,
Am
more bracing than blood-lust
C
'Cause we've been waiting and wandering,
Dm C
practicing and praying Saving and slavering,
D Am
gathering ourselves for the gathering
Am
We've been huddled in our houses
F D
for however many days like survivors
Am
And we've been dutifully paying our dues
F D
and paying heed to our advisors
Am
Yeah, but we're pent-up and we're pissed off
F D
and we're perilously close to the precipice
Am
We're butterflies in ballet shoes and
F
Brothel Creepers coming out of our chrysalis
C
I'm missing the feeling
Dm Am
when we close up the gaps between us
C Dm
It's better than the best, benediction,
Am
more bracing than blood-lust
C
'Cause we've been waiting and wandering,
Dm Em
practicing and praying Saving and slavering,
D E
gathering ourselves for the gathering
Fm E Fm

We look out for each other,
because we've got strength in our numbers
E
This is our mantra: we gather together
Fm
We look out for each other,
'cause we've got strength in our numbers

And I'll be the preacher
and this is the scripture
