Capo: Turn down 1/2 step

[Chorus1]

[Asus2] [Asus2/B]Mama, they [C#m]try and [Dsus2]break me.[E]me.

[Verse1]

[Asus2] [Asus2/B]the window [C#m]burns to [Dsus2]light the way back [E]home

[Asus2] [Asus2/B]a light that [C#m]warms no [Dsus2]matter where they've [E]gone.

[Asus2] [Asus2/B]they're off to [C#m]find the[Dsus2]the hero of the [E]day

[Asus2] [Asus2/B] but what if [C#m]

they should fall by [Dsus2]someone's wicked [E]way?

still the [Asus2]window [Asus2/B]burns, time so [C#m]slowly turns

[Dsus2]someone there is [E]sighing

keepers [Asus2]of the [Asus2/B]flames

do you [C#m]feel your names?

do you [Dsus2]hear your babies [E]crying?

[Chorus1]

[Asus2] [Asus2/B]Mama, they [C#m]try and [Dsus2]break me.[E]me.

[Asus2] [Asus2/B]still they [C#m]try and [Dsus2]break me [E]

[Verse2]

[Asus2] [Asus2/B]'scuse me [C#m]while i [Dsus2]tend to how i [E]feel

[Asus2] these [Asus2/B]things return to[C#m]to me that [Dsus2]still seem r[E]real

[Asus2] [Asus2/B] [C#m]now deserving[Dsus2]deservingly this easy [E]chair

[Asus2] [Asus2/B] but the [C#m]rocking stops by w[Dsus2]wheels of [E]despair

don't [Asus2]want your [Asus2/B]aid

but the [C#m]fist i've made for [Dsus2]years won't hold or [E]feel

no i'm [Asus2]not all [Asus2/B]me

so please [C#m]excuse me while i [Dsus2]tend to how i [E]fell

[Chorus2]

[F#m]but now the dreams and waking

screams that ever last through the night

[F#m]So build the wall behind it

crawl and hide until it's light

[F#m]can you hear your babies crying now?

[Solo]

[(Asus2] [Asus2/B] [C#m] [Dsus2] [E)]

[Verse3]

[(Asus2]still the[Asus2/B]the window bur[C#m]burns [Dsus2] [E)]

time so slowly turns

and someone there is sighing

keepers of the flames, can't you feel your names?

can't you hear your babies crying?

[Chorus2]

(F#m)

but now the dreams and waking screams that

ever last the night

so build a wall behind it crawl

and hide until it's light

so can't you hear your babies crying now?

[Chorus1]
