Hey Vangeline, come here buddy.
Hi.
[Bb] Ready?
[Bbm]
[Bb] [Eb]
[Bbm] [Ab]
Welcome to the end of being alone inside your mind.
[Db] You're tethered to another and you [Ab] worry
all the time.
[Eb] You always knew the melody [Db] but you never heard it [Bbm] rhyme.
[Eb] [Bbm]
[Ab] She's fair and she is quiet
Lord.
She doesn't look like me.
[Db] She made me love the morning.
[Ab] She's a holiday at sea.
[Eb] The New York streets are as busy [Db] as they always used to [Bbm] be [Ab] but I am the mother of [Eb] [Ab] Vangeline.
The first things that she took from me were selfishness and sleep.
[Db] She broke a thousand heirlooms [Ab] I was never meant to keep.
[Eb] She filled my life with color,
canceled [Db] plans and trashed [Bbm] my car [Ab] but none of that was ever who we are.
[Eb] [Ab] Outside of my windows are the mountains and the snow.
I [Db] hold you while you're sleeping and [Ab] I wish
that I could go.
[Eb] All my rowdy friends are [Db] out accomplishing [Bbm] their dreams [Ab] but I am the mother
[Eb] of [Ab] Vangeline.
And they still [Eb] got their morning paper and [Db] their coffee and their [Ab] time [Eb] and they
still enjoy their evenings with [Db] the skeptics and [Ab] the wine.
Oh but [C] all the wonders I have seen
[Db] I will see a second [Bbm] time.
[Ab] From inside of the ages through your [Eb] eyes you [Ab] are not an accident
where no one thought it through.
[Db] The world that stood against us [Ab] made us meet to fight for you
[Eb] and when we chose your name we knew that [Db] you'd fight [C] the power [Bbm] too.
[Eb] [Bbm]
[Fm] [Ab] You're nothing short of
magical and beautiful to me.
[Db] I'll never hit the big time without [Abm] you.
So [Eb] they can keep their treasure and [Db] their ties to the [Bbm] machine.
[Ab] I am the mother [Eb] of [Fm] Vangeline.
