Standard (EADGBE)
(This song is actually piano)
If I could wrap my hand around,
why you won't hear me now,
You tend to break my heart.
Keep my eyes closed long enough,
or maybe just wake up
Without us so far apart
Everytime I pick you up,
you find a way to fall
don't you know a conversation
doesnt mean ignore me.
Like a father livin' as a ghost,
and like a lover,
leaving when you need the most
And like the son you love,
but can't quite reach anymore.
If I could figure out what you want from me,
I'm always open,
you can come on in.
Give you room to breath in hope,
that part of you that's so cold,
we'll melt, and we can be friends again.
Everytime I feel I'm getting closer,
things get worse,
But I know how this story goes
because you're not the first.
You're like a father living as a ghost,
you're like a lover,
leavin' when you need the most
And like the son you love,
but can't quite reach anymore.
And even though your thinkin' you don't
need me,and your missin' out on
everything you should knOOooAaw.
Like a daughter, I pray,
Like a lover, I wait,
Like a mother I'll be here when you faaaall.
