E minor 7Em7 E minorEm E minor 7Em7   E minorEm   E minor 7Em7     E minorEm E minor 7Em7
I steal a look between the blinds
E minorEm E minor 7Em7 A7A7
I unwind
E minor 7Em7 E minorEm  E minor 7Em7    E minorEm E minor 7Em7     E minorEm E minor 7Em7
She sleeps in comfort in my arms
E minorEm E minor 7Em7 A7A7        E minor 7Em7  E minorEm  E minor 7Em7 E minorEm
She is plain, but she is mine
E minor 7Em7  E minorEm E minor 7Em7    E minorEm E minor 7Em7  E minorEm  E minor 7Em7
Our child is silent but awake
E minorEm  E minor 7Em7 A7A7        E minor 7Em7 E minorEm E minor 7Em7
I run my hand through his hair
  E minorEm  E minor 7Em7   E minorEm E minor 7Em7   E minorEm E minor 7Em7   E minorEm E minor 7Em7
I teach him manners and how to stick up
E minorEm E minor 7Em7 A7A7         E minor 7Em7 E minorEm E minor 7Em7
For himself when things get bad
 E minorEm  E minor 7Em7          E minorEm E minor 7Em7     E minorEm E minor 7Em7  E minorEm E minor 7Em7
I tell him, "Son, never throw the first punch,
  E minorEm E minor 7Em7 A7A7         E minor 7Em7  E minorEm  E minor 7Em7
And if you must fight, make it clean"

Chorus:
  E MajorE   E minor 7Em7 A7A7
Shiola, Shiola, will all be forgiven?
  E MajorE   E minor 7Em7    A7A7              E MajorE
Shiola, Shiola, am I strong enough to start again alone?
  E minor 7Em7    A7A7          E MajorE
The taste of home is filling up my mouth
E minor 7Em7  A7A7            E MajorE
Is it wrong to love a family of ghosts?
  E minor 7Em7   A7A7            E MajorE
Her door is open, the windows are all up
  E minor 7Em7      A7A7   E minor 7Em7 E minorEm E minor 7Em7
She says, "Come inside"

Verse 2:
 E minorEm  E minor 7Em7  E minorEm  E minor 7Em7
I live alone, more or less
 E minorEm E minor 7Em7 A7A7          E minor 7Em7  E minorEm E minor 7Em7
I summon wife, child, and happiness
      E MajorE      E minor 7Em7   A7A7
Build them up from the dirt and clay
 E MajorE     E minor 7Em7    A7A7
I have to believe that all will be forgiven

Chorus:
  E MajorE   E minor 7Em7         A7A7
Shiola, Shiola, will all be forgiven?

Shiola, Shiola, am I strong enough to start again alone?
  A7A7
My heart is overflowing
  E MajorE   E minor 7Em7   A7A7             E MajorE
Shiola, Shiola, the love and anger coiled into one
   E minor 7Em7   A7A7            E MajorE
They take and take, but never get their fill
 E minor 7Em7   A7A7            E MajorE
I try and try, but fail against my will
 E minor 7Em7   A7A7                E MajorE
I wait and wait, for that hand to sweep me up
  E minor 7Em7       A7A7
And take me down the road home
