Em C G Let me rock you in my arms Em C G I'll hold you safe and small Em C D Em C G A refugee from the Seraphim Em C G With your rich girl rags and allEm D Did your dreams die young C G Were they too hard won Am D C Did you reach too high and fall Em D And there is no rest C G For the ones God blessed Am G C D C C G And he blessed you best of all-alllllVerse 2:
Em C G Your eyes seem from a different face Em C G They've seen that much that soon Em C D C G Your cheeks too cold, too pale to shine Em C G Like an old and waning moonInstrumental: Bm C Bm F#m Am A Bm Em D CEm D And there is no peace C G No true release Am D C No secret place to crawl Em D And there is no rest C G For the ones God blessed Am G C D C C And he blessed you best of all-allVerse 3:
C G If tears unshed could heal your heart C G If words unsaid could sway C D C G Watch you melt into the night Em C G With adieu and rue the dayEm D Did your dreams die young C G Were they too hard won Am D C Did you reach too high and fall Em D And there is no rest C G For the ones God blessed Am G C D C C G And he blessed you best of all-all
