DBm
Sweetness,
BmAA
On the rips of your old dress.
DBm
Twilight
BmAA
Passed the banks of the warm fire.
DBm
Whispers in the dark, they hit the trees
AA
And they run in to your heart to find mamas sleeves.
DBm
Daddy aint awake, and daylights gone.
AA
Afraid of the dark, you think of mamas bones.
E7
Cause I cant live like this
E7 A*
Because I heard your mama cry.
A* DBm
Behind the door Im listening;
A Dmaj7*
She said shes gonna fly.
Dmaj7* E7* Riff
With words your mouth shes kissing.
E7ADBm
And she said, "Woah, oh, oh, child,
Dmaj7*
Your back is straight;
Dmaj7* E7* Riff
Dont let hurt curve it that way."
E7*
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah.
DBmAA x2
DBm
Sweetness,
BmAA
On the ribs of your bare chest.
DBm
Twilight
BmAA
On the roof of that snowy night.
DBm
You ran outside without your boots on.
AA
You could be lost, youd find yourself at home
DBm
Where mamas house is up on the sunrise.
AA
Sweet good God, just take me by surprise.
E7
Cause I cant live like this,
E7 A*
Because I heard your mama cry.
A* DBm
Behind the door Im listening;
A Dmaj7*
She said shes gonna fly.
Dmaj7* E7* Riff
With words your mouth shes kissing.
E7* ADBm
And she said, "Woah, oh, oh, child,
Dmaj7*
Your back is straight;
Dmaj7* E7* Riff
Dont let hurt curve it that way."
E7*
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah.
DBmAA x2
E7* DBm
But I said, "Mama, please take me home;
ADBm
Cause I cant stand being alone
E7DBm
Cause the pain is shooting down my spine again."
Dmaj7* E7* Riff
Said, "Daddys feeling sick; oh, I think hes gonna quit."
E7*
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah.
DBmAA x2
DBm
Sweetness,
BmAA
On the mouth of your car - ess.
DBm
Twilight
BmAA
Past the stars of that open night.
