Chords with lyrics
Intro: BB A augmentedA BB G+G
BB A augmentedA
How long must she stand
G+G
Before the ground, it gives way
BB A augmentedA
To an endless fall
BB G+G
She can feel this war on her face
BB A augmentedA
The stars on her pillow
G+G
She's folding in darkness begging for slumber
D MajorD E MajorE FF
I'm not blind
G+G D MajorD
I can see it coming
D MajorD E MajorE FF
Looks like lightning
G+G D MajorD
In my child's eye
D MajorD E MajorE FF
I'm not frantic
G+G D MajorD
I can feel it coming
D MajorD E MajorE FF
Violently shakes
G+G D MajorD
My body
BB A augmentedA
Her son's slanted
BB G+G
Always giving her the sideways eye
BB A augmentedA
The empty chair where dad sits
G+G
How loud can silence get?
BB A augmentedA
And mom, she reassures
BB G+G
To contain him but it's becoming a lie
BB A augmentedA
She tells herself and anyone else
G+G
Father is risking his life for our freedoms
D MajorD E MajorE FF
I'm not blind
G+G D MajorD
I can see it coming
D MajorD E MajorE FF
Looks like lightning
G+G D MajorD
In my child's eye
D MajorD E MajorE FF
I'm not frantic
G+G D MajorD
I can feel it coming
D MajorD E MajorE FF
Darling you'll save me
G+G D MajorD
