Intro: G  D/F#  Em  C  D 

Verse 1

G                                 D/F# 
Sister?s got her baby now and I?m glad for what she did 
        Em                                
But her older one?s in trouble, man I really love that kid 
 C                            D 
Maybe he could live here, for us it would be nice 
     C                                  D 
He needs some time to grow up, needs a father in his life 


Verse 2
 
G                      D/F# 
Me I guess I?m lucky, mine have almost grown 
       Em                                               
It?s amazing what they turn into from a seed that we have sown 
    C                               D 
I remember nights just lying there, worrying a while 
   C                             D 
I look across the room now, and I see them and I smile 


Verse 3
 
G                              D/F# 
All we ever want at night?s our families to be safe 
       Em         
So we hold their hands and pick them up until they take their place 
      C                            D 
We know that there?s no promises, no no guarantees 
         C                              D 
So we pray and pray and pray at night whatever will be will be 


Pre-Chorus
 
C   Em/B   C           D     C     Em/B  C              D                
Oh look at it coming down, making a mess of this whole town 

And I think that I know why 


 
G                                          D/F#                     
Everyone watched the wedding, two people in love 
                Em 
Two people whose blessing comes from higher up above 
       D                   C                    D 
They?re not like you and me, they were destined to be 
                           G                    D/F# 
Oh everyone watched the wedding, couldn?t get enough 
                Em                             
At least for one moment we were right there up above 
          D                    C                                 D 
Looking down on all the royal fuss Monday we were back upon the bus 
 C                                       D 
Driving through the neighbourhoods and factories that are us 
      C                                   D 
That one day, hope was all that we could see 
                      G   D/F#    Em  
And they looked so beautiful to me 
                           C 
Hope was all that we could see 
                    D           G 
And they looked so beautiful to me 


Interlude: G  D/F#  Em  D  C  D 

Verse 4:
 
    G                           D/F# 
Oh sister I am tapped out, this month is really bad 
         Em  
Can you hold on through May and then I?ll give you what I have 
C                        D 
Everything is going up, business going down 
         C                                 D 
I?ve been through this so many times it always comes around 


Verse 5:
 
      G                       D/F# 
My brother he?s a charmer, a snake with a silver tongue 
     Em                          
Sometimes he up and disappears and we don?t know where he?s gone 
      C                     D 
My mother she?s a fighter, always made her way 
      C                         D 
She can?t believe she worries about us all to this day 


Verse 6: 

G                    D/F# 
Me I just keep going, guess that I?ll be fine 
      Em  
But I can?t believe I keep my head above the waterline 
         C                         D 
Some people round here want to get rich and run away 
         C                                 D 
That?s not for me no, I?ve got so many reasons to stay 


Pre-Chorus:
 
C   Em/B   C         D       C     Em/B  C           D                
Oh look at it coming down, making a mess of this damn town 

And I think that I know why 


 
G                                D/F#                     
Everyone watched the wedding, two people in love 
                   Em 
Two people whose blessing comes from higher up above 
           D            C                         D

                           G                    D/F#

             D                 C                              D 
Looking down on all the royal fuss Monday we were back upon the bus 
 C                                       D 
Driving through the neighbourhoods and factories that are us 
     C                               D 
That knowing all our lives will never be 
                  G   D/F#    Em  
But they looked so beautiful to me 
                        C 
All our lives will never be 
                      D        G 
But they looked so beautiful to me
