[Intro]
C  Am  F  C
[Estrofe]
C                                                     Am 
The sea said goodbye to the shore so the sun wouldn't notice 
                 F                  C 
The seaweed that wrapped its arms around you 
C                                     Am 
The carpet on my cheek feels like the fall grass 
                      F                            C 
and I run through the tall trees with your hand chasing me
[Estrofe]
C                                                Am 
The books that I keep by my bed are full of your stories 
                    F                                      C 
That I drew up from a little dream of mine a little nightmare of yours 
C                                              Am 
To be asked to take this plunge to forgive and forget 
                  F                                  C 
and be the better man, to be a better man, to be a better man
[Refrão]
   C                   Am                  F             C 
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well
[Estrofe]
C                                Am 
The cat's silhouette as big as a monster 
                  F                                 C 
In this concrete jungle with street lights hanging their heads 
C                                           Am 
So make all your last demands for I will forsake you 
                   F                                       C 
and I'll meet your eyes for the very first time, for the very last
[Refrão]
   C                   Am                  F             C 
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well  
   C                   Am                  F             C 
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my brother as well  
   C                   Am                  F             C 
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my sister as well  
   C                   Am                  F             C 
So love me mother, and love me father, and love my brother as well
[Outro]
C                                    Am 
I met a man today and he smiled back at me 
                             F 
Now there are thoughts like these that keep me on my feet 
                   C 
that keep me on my feet
