Verse 1:
C majorC
It took hold of me
Bb majorBb A minorAm
I saw a grown man crying
DmDm G+G C majorC A minorAm
I ricocheted the difference as a stranger kindly watching
DmDm G+G C majorC A minorAm
From a park bench across the street
Interlude:
DmDm G+G
Chorus:
G+G C majorC Bb majorBb
And it took hold of me
A minorAm
I wonder what this man is borrowing
DmDm G+G C majorC A minorAm
Has he unlocked the pattern from that well that he's been drawing from
DmDm G+G C majorC A minorAm
As he dips the shadows unto his feet?
Interlude:
DmDm G+G
Verse:
G+G C majorC Bb majorBb
And it took hold of me
A minorAm
Was someone planting him a garden?
DmDm G+G C majorC A minorAm
Was her hair as long as the streams within a fountain
DmDm
Pouring light
G+G C majorC A minorAm
Into a home he could not keep
Interlude:
DmDm G+G

Oh how nice to see a pattern broken

When I've never even seen my father weep
Interlude:
G7G7
Chorus:
G7G7 C majorC Bb majorBb
So it took hold of me
A minorAm
Was someone planting him a daughter
DmDm G+G C majorC A minorAm DmDm
Was her life as strong as the river pushing water from the sides
G+G C majorC A minorAm
And gently out to sea
Interlude:
DmDm G+G
Verse:
G+G C majorC Bb majorBb
And it took hold of me
A minorAm
I offer cigarette and lighter
DmDm G+G C majorC A minorAm
I know it isn't much but if it makes spirits feel higher
DmDm G+G C majorC A minorAm
We push the smoke out into the street
Interlude:
DmDm G+G
Outro:
C majorC A minorAm
Into the street
DmDm G+G
C majorC A minorAm
Into the street
DmDm G+G C majorC
