C Am C Fmaj7 C

[Verse 1]

Oh, mother
                   Am
I was born in your eyes
C
I was walking
                  Fmaj7
The day I came to life
                Am
And I've come beside myself to know
           Fmaj7                       C
I'm just a person with highs and lows

[Verse 2]

Oh, father
                     Am     C
I was raised in your hands

I was fighting
                     Fmaj7
Before I could understand
               Am
And I've got a lot of things to learn
             Fmaj7
And things I don't think that I deserve

[Interlude]
C
Come lay your head

And come rest your tired eyes
Fmaj7
Fall back instead

Feel your breath internalize
C
And come lay your head

And come rest your tired eyes
    G
And fall back instead

Fall back instead

[Bridge]
Fmaj7
When I try to fall asleep
                   Am
I'm lifted from my bed sheets
          C
Where the ground is falling down
        G
And the night is far too loud
           Am
I'm giving up
           Fmaj7
I'm giving in

[Instrumental]
C, G, Am, Fmaj7

[Verse 3]
C
Everything is rising
                         G
Come and rest your tired eyes
                     Am
Your youth's fading
           
Everyone is leaving
                Fmaj7
And I cannot complain
