G                                                     Em
The sea said goodbye to the shore so the sun wouldn't notice
                   C                    G
The seaweed that wrapped its arms around you
G                                         Em
The carpet on my cheek feels like the fall grass
                       C                              G
and I run through the tall trees with your hand chasing me
G                                                 Em
The books that I keep by my bed are full of your stories
                  C                                              G
That I drew up from a little dream of mine a little nightmare of yours
G                                            Em
To be asked to take this plunge to forgive and forget
                   C                                     G
and be the better man, to be a better man, to be a better man
    G                  Em                 C               G
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well
G                                Em
The cat's silhouette as big as a monster
                  C                                      G
In this concrete jungle with street lights hanging their heads
G                                              Em
So make all your last demands for I will forsake you
                    C                                         G
and I'll meet your eyes for the very first time, for the very last
    G                  Em                 C                G
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well
    G                  Em                 C                G
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my brother as well
    G                  Em                 C                G
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well
    G                  Em                 C                G
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my brother as well
G                                   Em
I met a man today and he smiled back at me
                             C
Now there are thoughts like these that keep me on my feet
                    G
that keep me on my feet
