[E] We built our home out [C#m] on the slopes, palm paper neath, [G#m] she lay above, and how she [E] haunted
our home, how she haunted our home.
You were God in my [C#m] eyes, above the clouds, above the skies.
You were God in my eyes, you were God.
[C#m]
[F#]
[E] You took me walking through the town, [C#m] showed me the statues underground, said just don't
they look at peace.
Sometimes I wish that was me.
I was the son you always [C#m] had, tugging at your coat [G#m] while you were sad.
I was the son you always [E] had, I was the son you always had.
[G#m]
[F#] Oh [E] please, just don't cry, hold your [C#m] head up high.
She [E] would want you to, she would want you to.
Please, just don't cry, hold your head up high.
She would want you to, she [E] would want you to.
[F#] [C#m]
[E]
You said stay in the car and wait, there's just some things I have to say.
Don't you know I miss her too.
I miss her just as much as you, and so my father and [C#m] my son, as [A] you end what [C#m] she's
begun, you lie patient by her side, with roses red come lilies white.
[G#m] [F#] [C#m]
[E]
I was too young to [A] understand the flowers slipping from your [C#m] hands.
I was too young to [E] understand, I was too young to understand, I was too young to
[C#m] understand the flowers sleeping in her hands.
I was too young to [F#] understand, I was too young to [E] understand.

Oh please, just don't cry, hold [C#] your head up high.
She [E] would want you to, she would want you to.
Please, just don't cry, hold [F#m] your head up high.
She [E] would want you to, she would want you to.
Oh please, just don't cry, hold your [F#m] head up high.
She [E] would want you to, she would want you to.
Please, just don't cry, [C#] hold your head up high.
She [E] would want you to, she [F#] would want you to.
