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