[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ I need [Bb] a reason to get it before I wash it.
Facing the junkie, no, but the dealer.
[Bb] Kept on my clothes [D] and I'm tripping.
[Bb] I haven't called my grandma in a long, long time.
Standing in the shower, I almost have it.
I'm trying to wake up and I'm looking for the mama.
Reaching for the towel, [Ab] soap in [Bb] my eye.
Drying my shoulders, my chest, and my thigh.
The next thing I know, [Fm] the telephone.
[Bb] I hear my own voice on the answering machine saying,
please, [Ab] I'm glad [Gm] you called.
I listen for a voice, [G] but there's nothing at all.
[Bb] But man, oh man, I [Db] gotta get [Bb] the blues and pay respect.
We respect it.
I'm crazy to die [Ab] when [Bb] I'm something.
The one I can turn to when I'm feeling blue.
But early in the morning, [Abm] before I walk,
[Bb] I find a place to worship.
You better still want me, there's an empty space to worship.
But early in the morning, [Eb] before I walk,
[Bb] I find a place to worship.
100,000 miles of lonely [B] place.
[Bb] So if I'm precious, I'm in the right [C] place. _
Yeah.
_ [Gm] _ Damn, Rocky, you [G] rockin' red to go.
[Bb] It's 6 in the morning, [Dbm] she rolled [Bb] out of bed,
stared out the window, and then she said that I wasn't the type.
[F] I think she's running out of types, though.
And I told her so.
[Bb] She picked up her things and walked through the door.
And then she said that she couldn't see me no more.
But just as she was leaving, I asked her,
she didn't look back, [Gm] said nothing, you know.
I didn't change my clothes [C] because they smell like you.
[G] And when I took a shower, [C] it reminded me of you.
[Gm] I called Grandma [C] Brown before [Gm] we fight.
It happened to me once.
[F] It happened to me twice.
[Bb] Well, Michael, my son, [Ab] you sound [Bb] really fine.
I wish that you would, so I could give you a hug.
And then she gave [Ab] me a long, [D] long hug.
She said you had the patience.
I'm probably still on the [Bb] sidewalk.
But things get tough.
Don't sweat it sometimes in life.
You just gotta let it.
This ain't how the song, protection
so strong that even a bad [G] dream couldn't bring harm.
[Bb] Reminded me of a young [Ab] child's battles.
[Bb] From a candlelight shadows, [G]
her voice
is like a [F] whispering kiss [Gb] on the forehead.
[F] _ Uh-huh.
[Bb] But early in the morning [Ab] before I [Bb] washed my face, _
we barely still [Ab] wanted this [A] empty [Bb] space.
[G] _
[Bb] But early in the morning [Ab] before [Bb] I washed my face, _
100,000 [Ab] miles is a [Bb] long way.
So I'm rushing.
_ [D] Yeah.
[C] _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ I'm rushing.
[C] I'm rushing.
_ [Fm]
Oh, yeah.
[C] _ [Bm] I'm rushing.
Yeah, rock, we [Bb] rock.
I'm ready to go.
But in the last 30 [Bb] minutes before I go to sleep,
when I say my prayers and I brush my teeth,
well, this is the time when [N] I'm supposed
to think about all of the things I've
been trying to forget [Bb] about the bills, the [Ab] phone,
the [Bb] cleaning of my room, the cars, the traffic,
the speakers, and the boom.
Alone, I remember [Fm] the times [Bb] of me and you.
And I realize my heart is shaking up the room.
Well, grandma, she would teach us about the glowing day.
Grandma, she would tell us about when
we would stay in the living [Ab] room, [Bb] piano's out of tune,
on top of the [F] differences of everybody [Db] growing up.
Child, then child, [D] lost child, every single [C] tear shed
and every single smile.
Because everybody's got a lot [D] of shit to do.
And life doesn't [F] stop.
It just makes it feel [Bb] good.
So shake the dust [Fm] off [Bb] your feet.
Take a step forward.
Liberate with the beat.
And so for you, [Fm] I [Bb] wrote this song
because I wanted you to hear it before you were gone.
The African in [Fm] me, the [Bb] Samoan in me,
these are some of the things my grandmother gave to me.
Well, some believe the [D] arms, some believe the ank.
If ever there was one, [Bb] my grandma Brown, she is a saint.
But early in the [Ab] morning, before I [Bb] wash my face, _
the bed is still [Ab] warm, but there's an [Bb] empty space. _ _
But early in the [Ab] morning, before I [Bb] wash my face,
there's an empty space.
_ [Ab] But [Bb] _ _ early _
_ _ [D] in [A] the morning, before I wash _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ my _ face,
there's an empty space.
But early in [B] the morning, [C] before _ _ [A] I wash my [F] face, _
[Bb] _ _ there's an empty space. _ _
