CAPO: 2nd Fret


INTRO: Am

Oh, my child
[C]Thirty years today
You [G]came into my life
And [Am]everything changed


There's one thing I tried to teach you
Girl, don't you [C]waste your time
[G]Come this September
You'll be [Am]somebody's wife

[G]I won't paint a picture of what you [F]want to see
[Em]Love is the harder times, t[Dm]ake it from me

I would [F]run down the lane and [C]into the [Am]night
[F]Run so fast, I swear my [C]feet would [Am]fly
[F]Run from my babies, a[C]sleep in their [Am]beds
[F]Run from my lover and [C]my best [Am]friend
And [G]back again

INSTRUMENTAL: Am C G Am


And all of the courage
I tried so [C]hard to hold on to
[G]Ever since that day
You and your brother [Am]left for school


They say, just over that hill
The [C]fog rolled in
And, "[G]Come quick doctor
We think some[Am]body's been killed"

And [G]I have been a healer of other [F]people's pain
Yeah, [Em]I know sometimes you don't like the [Dm]ways I've changed

But the [F]smell of the world came [C]into my [Am]lungs
The [F]sound of the gravel when my [C]legs went [Am]numb
And my [F]heart nearly burst right [C]out of my [Am]chest
It [F]felt so good to know I [C]wasn't [Am]dead

I would [F]run down the lane and [C]into the [Am]night
[F]Run so fast, I swear my [C]feet would [Am]fly
[F]Run from my babies, a[C]sleep in their [Am]beds
[F]Run from my lover and [C]my best [Am]friend
[G]Back again
Back agai[Am]n
