Capo 1

Intro: C Am Fmaj7 C

C                                    Am
The sea said goodbye to the shore so the sun wouldn't notice
           Fmaj7            C
The seaweed that wrapped its arms around you

C                         Am
The carpet on my cheek feels like the fall grass
               Fmaj7                   C
and I run through the tall trees with your hand chasing me

C                                Am
The books that I keep by my bed are full of your stories
              Fmaj7                          C 
That I drew up from a little dream of mine a little 
nightmare of yours

C                               Am
To be asked to take this plunge to forgive and forget
            Fmaj7                       C
and be the better man, to be a better man, to be a better man

  C             Am            Fmaj7         C
So love me mother, and love me father, and love 
my sister as well

C                      Am
The cat's silhouette as big as a monster
            Fmaj7                      C
In this concrete jungle with street lights hanging their heads

C                             Am
So make all your last demands for I will forsake you
             Fmaj7                          C
and I'll meet your eyes for the very first time, 
for the very last

  C             Am            Fmaj7         C
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well
  C             Am            Fmaj7         C
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my brother as well
  C             Am            Fmaj7         C
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well
  C             Am            Fmaj7         C
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my brother as well

C                        Am
I met a man today and he smiled back at me
                    Fmaj7           
Now there are thoughts like these that keep me on my feet
             C (let ring)
that keep me on my feet
