All the battles she had won

For all his life
Am7 A6sus2
But now we meet to bring him flowers
B7Em -
And only God knows why
DB7/D#
For what's the use in pressing palms
F#m
When children fade in mother's arms
(F#m)
It's a cruel world,

We've so much to loose

And what we have to learn we rarely choose

Searching for her crime
