Tone: [Am]
Capo 3
Verse 1:
[Am]Oh what these, these aren’t tears
It’s just the rain that wasn’t [C]brave enough to fall
And what they [F]hear isn’t laughter after all
It’s just your voice learning for [G]once to stand up tall
Chorus:
And when the rain came [Am]down
I made a vow out to the gods
Please let her [C]live just one more day
Cos she is so much more than all her scars
And if she [F]doesn’t have the will
But it seems the world does I’ll stay[G]stay because
I will be the man my father never was
Interlude:
[Am] [C] [F] [G]
Verse 2:
And what you [Am]hear is not silence
It’s just the trees waiting to [C]hear what next you’ll hum
And what you [F]see is not the dark
It’s just the gods upturning inkpots
Cos they [G]know what you’ll become
Chorus:
And to those [Am]gods I will speak bluntly
We’ve an accord
If you ever [C]touch or harm him
Please rest assured
That you [F]might not fear a man
But to a woman by the end you’ll kneel and [G]plea
Cos I’m more than what my mum told me to be
Interlude:
[Am] [C] [F] [G]
Bridge:
And I can hear her [Am]sing
And I know she’s giving [C]up
And I [F]don’t know what to do, how to help her
How to bring her [G]home
Both:
And I can hear him [Am]break
And he doesn’t under[C]understand
And I [F]wish that I could take his hand
But where I’m going is for me and me [G]alone
And I can her her sing
Post Chorus:
[Am]If I don’t make it [F]back from where I’ve gone
Just [C]know I loved you all [G]along…
[Am]If I don’t make it [F]back from where I’ve gone
Just [C]know I loved you all [G]along…
[C]Loved you all [G]along…
