Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 Intro , , ,

The sea said goodbye to the shore so the sun wouldn't notice

 The seaweed that wrapped its arms around you

The carpet on my cheek feels like the fall grass

 and I run through the tall trees with your hand chasing me

The books that I keep by my bed are full of your stories

 That I drew up from a little dream of mine a little nightmare of yours

To be asked to take this plunge to forgive and forget

 and be the better man, to be a better man, to be a better man

 So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well

The cat's silhouette as big as a monster

 In this concrete jungle with street lights hanging their heads

So make all your last demands for I will forsake you

 and I'll meet your eyes for the very first time, for the very last

 So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well

 So love me mother, and love me father, and love my brother as well

 So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well

 So love me mother, and love me father, and love my brother as well

I met a man today and he smiled back at me

 Now there are thoughts like these that keep me on my feet

 that keep me on my feet
