Verse 1:
[G]Mother, will you think of me in your [D]prayers?[C]

But it [Em]hates
Oh it [G]hates
Chorus:
This is for [D]everything we had
It's the [Em]good and it's the bad
It's the [C]state of love and trust

And this is for you
And this is for [D]us
Verse 2:
[G]And father, will you comfort me if I [D]call?[C]
This crazy world has lost it's mind

It [D]turns, it turns, it turns
[C]Oh you can try and smother it
But it [Em]burns
Oh it [G]burns

Oh will you [Em]break my fall
Oh when I [C]climb too high?
I always [G]lose my nerve
It happens [D]every time
