C Bb/C F/C C
C Bb/C F/C C
[Verse]
C
Now that I know
Bb/C
The way it goes
F/C C
You gotta pay back every penny that you owe
C
Twelve years old
Bb/C
In your mama's clothes
F/C C
Shut the blinds and lock up every door
C
And if you hear
Bb/C
Someone's comin near
F/C C
Just close your eyes and make them disappear now
[Interlude]
C Bb/C F/C C
[Verse 2]
C
Years away
Bb/C
Finds me here today
F/C C
On my own always on my way now
C
So I send my friends
Bb/C
Gifts from where I've been
F/C C
Something for the hand they're never there to lend
C
Better keep those eyes
Bb/C
Climbing paradise
F/C C
And don't pretend you won't reach it in the end now
[Interlude]
C Bb/C F/C C
[Verse 3]
C
Dearest dear
Bb/C
I know you been here
F/C C
Why'd you run tell me why'd you disappear now
C
That you're not
Bb/C
Here with me
F/C C
Seems to be the only time that I can see you clearly
C
I may not know
Bb/C
How to treat or give you what you need
F/C C
But I am a gentleman who says what he means now
[Interlude]
C Bb/C F/C C
[Verse 4]
C
And now I sing
Bb/C
Upon my knees
F/C C
And praise the kindness of a gentle breeze
C
I see it swell
Bb/C
Like a story in me to tell
F/C C
Told years away and past my baby dying
C
So you raise them up
Bb/C
To heaven always hell
F/C C
they're unaware, share, give a hand to help son
C
Oh you give them away
Bb/C
But they'll come back to you someday
F/C C
Wanna know why nobody was ever there to help them
C
And no it ain't fair
Bb/C
And if God forbid you care
F/C C
It's enough to get you in a whole lotta trouble
C
Oh realize
Bb/C
It ain't wise to idealize
F/C C
Or put your life in the hands of any struggle
[Interlude]
C Bb/C F/C C
C Bb/C F/C C
[Verse 5]
C
Never renounce
Bb/C
Or ever claim to be
F/C C
And never buy that freedom just ain't free now
C
Ella sang
Bb/C
Sifting in the sand
F/C C
Like a hymn within to help us understand
C
Heaven awaits
Bb/C
We're making our stand
F/C C
Glory bound and sparrow in our hand
[Outro]
