I took the supermarket flowers from the windowsill

Threw the day old tea from the cup

Memories of a life that's been loved

Took the get well soon cards and stuffed animals
           G           Bm            C
Poured the old ginger beer down the sink
Em         D                 C                   G
Dad always told me don't you cry when you're down

But mum there's a tear every time that I blink

When I fell down you’d be there

Holding me up, spread your wings as you go

I fluffed the pillows, made the beds, stacked the chairs up
            G            Bm             C
Folded your nightgowns neatly in a case
D Em                D                  C                G
     John said he’d drive then put his hand on my cheek
            C              D          G
And wiped a tear from the side of my face

Pre-Chorus 2:
Am                 C          G              D

When I fell down you’d be there

Holding me up, spread your wings as you go

You got to see the person I have become, spread your wings and I know that when
