[Eb] Alright.
[Bb] [Eb]
[Ab] [Eb]
When I was a boy each week, Sunday we would go to [Bb] church,
[Fm] pay attention [Ab] to the priest, he [Eb] would read the Holy Word,
confess the holy bread, everyone would [Bb] kneel and bow.
[C] Today [Ab] the only difference is [Eb] everything is holy now.
[Cm] Everything, [Bb] everything, [Eb] [Ab] everything is holy now.
[Eb]
[Cm] When [Eb] I was in Sunday school, we would learn [Bb] about the time
when [Ab] Moses fed the seed and flew, [Bb] when Jesus made the water run.
[Eb] And I remember feeling sad that miracles [Bb] don't happen still,
[Fm] but now I can't [Ab] keep track, [Eb] cause everything's a miracle.
[C] Everything, [Bb] everything, [Eb] [Ab] everything's a miracle.
[Eb] [Bb]
[C] Why [Eb] the [Ab] water is not so small, [Eb] but an [Fm] even better magic trick,
[Db] that [Eb] anything is here at all.
[Bb] So, [Eb]
[Ab] challenging thing becomes, not to look [Fm] for miracles,
[Db] [Eb] defining [Bb] whether it is [F] a one.
[Cm] [Fm]
[Bb] But holy water [Eb] was rare at best, barely [Bb] wet my fingertips,
[Ab] but now I have to hold my breath, like I'm [Eb] swimming in a sea of air.
Used to be a world half there, heaven's [Bb] second rate hand me down,
[C] but I walk it with [Ab] irreverent air, [C]
cause everything [Eb] is holy now.
[Cm] Everything, [Bb] everything, [Ab] everything's holy now.
[Eb]
[Bb] [Eb] Read, a [Ab] questioning child's face, [Eb] say [Fm] it's not a testament,
[Db] [Eb] that'd be very hard to say.
[Bb] See, [Eb] see [Ab] another new morning [Eb] [Ab] come, say it's [F] not a [Ab] sacrament,
[Db]
[Eb] tell you [Bb] that it [F] can't be [Eb] done.
[Cm] [Fm] This [Bb]
[Eb] morning outside I stood, saw a [Bb] little red winged bird,
[Ab] shining like a burning bush, [Eb] singing like a scripture verse.
Made me want to bow my head, I remember when church let out,
[Ab] how things have changed since then, [Eb] everything is holy now.
Used to be a world half there, heaven's second rate hand me down,
but I [Ab] walk it with irreverent air, [Eb] cause everything is holy now.
