    B             A
How long must she stand
G
Before the ground, it gives way
B             A
To an endless fall
G
She can feel this war on her face
B                A
The stars on her pillow
G
She's folding in darkness begging for slumber

I'm not blind
      G      D
I can see it coming
D          F
Looks like lightning
G             D
In my child's eye

D       F
I'm not frantic
      G       D
I can feel it coming
D         F
Violently shakes
G      D
My body

B         A
Her son's slanted
G
Always giving her the sideways eye
B                     A
The empty chair where dad sits
G
How loud can silence get?
B            A
And mom, she reassures
G
To contain him but it's becoming a lie
B                     A
She tells herself and anyone else
G
Father is risking his life for our freedoms

      G      D
I can see it coming
D          F
Looks like lightning
G             D
In my child's eye

D       F
I'm not frantic
      G       D
I can feel it coming
D              F
Darling you'll save me
       G    D
If you save yourself
