INTRO: C/G  Cmaj9  Am    Dm  C/G  G    C/G  Cmaj9  Am    F  C/G  G     N.C.


   C/G      Cmaj9       Am
My dad is a miracle and so's my mom
     Dm  C/G      G
They fly over the blue
                                                 Am
They finish their dinner and then they take one another's hands
             Dm           C/G              G
And off they go to find a broader point of view
           C/G             Cmaj9        Am
For it's a give and take beyond the ordinary
          Dm               C/G               G
What with all the cats and kids that they've loved
 F     Am Dm            G
And they, ooh, will not be alone

         C/G             Cmaj9              Am
Well, my friends give me purple flowers and orange tea
   Dm                  C/G                  G
On goose-down spilling quilts and turquoise chairs
                                 Am
We greet each other in a wild profusion of words
         Dm              C/G           G
Wave farewell amidst the wonderment of air
       C/G               Cmaj9            Am
In the laughing times we know that we are lucky
           Dm             C/G              G
And in the quiet times we know that we are blessed
 F   Am Dm            G
And we, ooh, will not be alone


          C/G                    Cmaj9              Am
Well, the light that stopped the night felt like forgiveness to you
           Dm                  C/G                    G
But as the garbage trucks came bustling through their rounds
                                                     Am
You stared at the pictures on your walls and all the postcards from your friends
       Dm                     C/G       G
As you heard the birds and old familiar sounds
                C/G                   Cmaj9             Am
That's when you knew this world can't be saved, only discovered
        Dm                   C/G              G
And you knew things could be different than before
     F    Am Dm            G         C/G Cmaj9  Am    Dm  G  C/G
And now you, ooh, will not be alone anymore______
