 G
Never gonna know you

The way that I want to
      C                    G
I'll never see you in the wild
        G
You're never gonna see me through

 Looking in from the outside

Don't want her to change

Less of a stranger


Verse 2:
      G
Ever since I left your body
                         C
Been a breathless fast swimmer
             G
Slow on the sand
           G
"Will the race bend back home "
              G
You said you hate being alone
            Dm               C               G
Did you forget the starting gun was in your hand?

Don't want her to change

She's always been the entertainer
    Am                  C
Oh
I just wish my own mother was

Less of a stranger

Bridge:
        G
When I look into the mirror
                          C
I see my father, when I close my eyes
       G
I see you
          G
When you look into the mirror
           G
Does your father appear?
Dm                   C               G
Eyes closed, do you see your mother too?


Chorus:
             Am         C       G
Sometimes I wonder, do I intimidate her?
        Am              C
Do my questions and my pain
                     G
Take like skin to a razor?
            Am
Don't want her to change
         C                G
Or feel bad for life's remainder
    Am                  C
Oh
I just wish my own mother was
             G
