[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?
