::Intro::
G - D/F# - em - C - D
::Verse #1::
[G]Sister's got her baby now and I[D/F#]'m glad for what she did
em
But her older one's in trouble, man I really love that kid
M[C]aybe he could live here, for [D]us it would be nice
He ne[C]eds some time to grow up, needs a f[D]ather in his life
::Verse #2::
[G]Me I guess I'm lucky,[D/F#] mine have almost grown
em
It's amazing what they turn into from a seed that we have sown
I re[C]member nights just lying there, [D]worrying a while
I l[C]ook across the room now, and I[D] see them and I smile
::Verse #3::
[G]All we ever want at night's o[D/F#]ur families to be safe
em
So we hold their hands and pick them up until they take their place
We kno[C]w that there's no promises,[D] no no guarantees
So we pra[C]y and pray and pray at night wh[D]atever will be will be
::Pre-Chorus::
C em/B C D C em/B C D
Oh look at it coming down, making a mess of this whole town
And I think that I know why
::Chorus::
[G]Everyone watched the wedding, two people in[D/F#] love
em
Two people whose blessing comes from higher up above
They'[D]re not like you and [C]me, they were destine[D]d to be
Oh everyone watched the wed[G]ding, couldn't get [D/F#]enough
em
At least for one moment we were right there up above
Looking do[D]wn on all the royal f[C]uss Monday we were back upon the b[D]us
D[C]riving through the neighbourhoods and fa[D]ctories that are us
That o[C]ne day, hope was all that we could s[D]ee
G D/F# em
And they looked so beautiful to me
Hope was all that we could [C]see
And they looked so b[D]eautiful to [G]me
::Interlude::
G - D/F# - em - D - C - D
::Verse #4::
Oh s[G]ister I am tapped out, this [D/F#]month is really bad
em
Can you hold on through May and then I'll give you what I have
[C]Everything is going up, b[D]usiness going down
I've be[C]en through this so many times it a[D]lways comes around
::Verse #5::
My bro[G]ther he's a charmer, a[D/F#] snake with a silver tongue
em
Sometimes he up and disappears and we don't know where he's gone
My mot[C]her she's a fighter,[D] always made her way
She ca[C]n't believe she worries [D]about us all to this day
::Verse #6::
[G]Me I just keep going,[D/F#] guess that I'll be fine
em
But I can't believe I keep my head above the waterline
Some peop[C]le round here want to get [D]rich and run away
That's [C]not for me no, I've got so many [D]reasons to stay
::Pre-Chorus::
C em/B C D C em/B C D
Oh look at it coming down, making a mess of this damn town
And I think that I know why
::Chorus::
[G]Everyone watched the wedding, two[D/F#] people in love
em
Two people whose blessing comes from higher up above
They're n[D]ot like you a[C]nd me, they were destined [D]to be
Oh everyone watched the wed[G]ding, couldn't get [D/F#]enough
em
At least for one moment we were right there up above
Looking down [D]on all the royal f[C]uss Monday we were back upon th[D]e bus
D[C]riving through the neighbourhoods and fa[D]ctories that are us
That [C]knowing all our lives will never[D] be
G D/F# em
But they looked so beautiful to me
All our lives will never[C] be
But they looked so bea[D]utiful to[G] me
