[Intro]

C  Am  F  C


[Verse]

C                                                     Am
The sea said goodbye to the shore so the sun wouldn't notice
                 F                  C
The seaweed that wrapped its arms around you
C                                     Am
The carpet on my cheek feels like the fall grass
                      F                            C
and I run through the tall trees with your hand chasing me


C                                                Am
The books that I keep by my bed are full of your stories
                    F                                      C  
That I drew up from a little dream of mine a little nightmare of yours
C                                              Am
To be asked to take this plunge to forgive and forget
                  F                                  C
and be the better man, to be a better man, to be a better man


[Chorus]

   C                   Am                  F             C
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well


[Verse]

C                                Am
The cat's silhouette as big as a monster
                  F                                 C
In this concrete jungle with street lights hanging their heads
C                                           Am
So make all your last demands for I will forsake you
                   F                                       C
and I'll meet your eyes for the very first time, for the very last


[Chorus]

   C                   Am                  F             C
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well

   C                   Am                  F             C
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my brother as well

   C                   Am                  F             C
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well

   C                   Am                  F             C
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my brother as well


[Outro]

C                                    Am
I met a man today and he smiled back at me
                             F                 
Now there are thoughts like these that keep me on my feet
                   C 
that keep me on my feet
