A augmentedA                       G+G FF
 Oh lord, won't you leave me, leave me on my knees
               G+G
Cause I belong to the ground now
           A augmentedA
And it belongs to thee
                          G+G FF
And oh lord, won't you leave me, leave me just like this
               G+G
Cause I belong to the ground now
            A augmentedA
I want no more than this
                         G+G FF
How I long for the autumn, the sun keeps burning deep
           G+G           A augmentedA
Every stone in this city keeps reminding me, oh!
               G+G FF
Can you protect me from what I want?
           G+G
The love I let in, it left me so lost

A augmentedA    G+G
 Mother, make me
FF      DmDm
 Make me a big tall tree
A augmentedA     G+G      FF        DmDm
 So I can shed my leaves and let it blow through me
A augmentedA    G+G
 Mother, make me
FF      DmDm
 Make me a big grey cloud
A augmentedA     G+G     FF           G+G  A augmentedA
 So I can rain on you things I can't say out loud

G+G FF G+G (intro riff)

A augmentedA                           G+G FF
 All these couples are kissing and I can't stand the heat
               G+G
I lost my shoes and left the party
           A augmentedA
I wander in the street
                          G+G FF
I put my feet into the fountain, the statues all asleep
            G+G
No use wishing on the water

It grants you no relief

A augmentedA    G+G
 Mother, make me
FF      DmDm
 Make me a bird of prey
A augmentedA     G+G    FF        DmDm
 So I can rise above this, let it fall away
A augmentedA   G+G
Mother, make me
FF     DmDm
Make me a song so sweet
A augmentedA   G+G    FF         A augmentedA
Heaven trembles, fallen at our feet

G+G FF G+G
