Lying on my bed.
[Bb] I was reading [F] French with [Dm] the light to [C] fright for [Bb] my [F] senses
_ From this hiding place [Bb] life was way too [F] much.
It [Dm] was loud and [C] rough around [Bb] the [F] edges
So [C] I faced the wall when [Bb] an old man called [C] out of dreams that I would [Bb] [F] die there
But [C] inside I seen you [Bb] were pulling [C] strings you had a different
[Bb] _ [F] Idea _ I was like a child.
I was [Dm] light as straw when my father
[C] Lifted [Bb] me [F] up there
It took me to a place where he checked my body.
My soul was [Bb] floating in [F] thin [C] air
I've come to the [Bb] bed and I've come to the past.
[C] I've come to the welcome
[Bb] [F] Darkness, [C] but at the end of the [Bb] night, there's a green green light
[C] _
quiet before [Bb] the
[F] Madness, there [Gm] was a girl that sang like the chime of a bell
[Bb]
But I run she touched me when I [F] wasn't how?
_ _ _ When I [C] wasn't how?
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F]
Someone sang a song and I sang a song [Dm] cuz I knew the [F] words from [C] my [F] childhood _
Into a light ambition they fell away and [Dm] they locked [F] me up for my own good
But [C] I didn't mind
[Bb] Silence was time
[C]
spoke to me
[Bb] _ [F] _ There [C] was a sound of the wind in [Bb] the cold cold dawn [C] the quiet
_ _ [Bb] [F] Let _ [Gm] me die
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ No
No, what [C] you doing
_ _ Lying _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [F] _
on my side you were [Bb] half [F] awake and your face was higher
[Bb] _ [F] _ _ If I had a camera
Now was [Dm] this beauty [C] in [Bb] every [F] stumble [C] we're out of practice
[Bb] We're out of sight [C] on the edge of [Bb] nobody's [F] empire
[C] And if we live by books and [Bb] we live by hope [C] does that make the [Bb] targets for [F] gunfire? _
Now I look at you.
You're a mother of two.
You're a quiet _ _ [Bb] [F] Revolution _ _
Marching with the crowd singing dirty and loud for the [C] people's
_ [Bb] _ [F] Emancipation
Did [C] I pay _ [Bb] the way [C] was strong when you [Bb] were [F] I
[C] Was tied to the yoke with [Bb] a decent blow
[C]
Brewster but never
[Bb] _ [F] _ And [Gm] he told me to push
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ Great [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
