FDmF
If I could wrap my hand around,
why you won't hear me now,
Dm
You tend to break my heart.
F
Keep my eyes closed long enough,
or maybe just wake up
Bb
Without us so far apart
Dm
Everytime I pick you up,
Gm
you find a way to fall
Dm
don't you know a conversation
C
doesnt mean ignore me.
FDm
Like a father livin' as a ghost,
F
and like a lover,
Bb
leaving when you need the most
Gm
And like the son you love,
CF
but can't quite reach anymore.
F
If I could figure out what you want from me,
Dm
I'm always open,
you can come on in.
F
Give you room to breath in hope,
that part of you that's so cold,
Bb
we'll melt, and we can be friends again.
DmGm
Everytime I feel I'm getting closer,
things get worse,
Dm
But I know how this story goes
C
because you're not the first.
FDm
You're like a father living as a ghost,
F
you're like a lover,
Bb
leavin' when you need the most
Gm
And like the son you love,
CF
but can't quite reach anymore.
Dm
And even though your thinkin' you don't
Gm
need me,and your missin' out on
DmCBb
everything you should knOOooAaw.
F
Like a daughter, I pray,
Dm
Like a lover, I wait,
CBb
Like a mother I'll be here when you faaaall.
