[Intro 1]
[Am][F][Am][E]

[Verse 1]
[Eb]Dear Mother
can you hear my footsteps?
[Am]I'm so close, I'm right ther[F]e
I'm almost [Em]home, so [G]unprepared
To notice yet ignore how [F]hard
it is to [Em]be ar[E]ound you
[Am]I've came clean, I'm washed out[F]
I've [C]flooded the engine, stranded myself
[G]This home, native land they spe[F]ak
in words I can[Em]'t understand

[Verse 2]
[F]So when I'm sta[G]nding on thi[E]s street
like I [Am]have a hun[G]dred [F]times
You don't [G]even glance at
[E]me you just pass me by

[Verse 3]
[C]I remember your f[G]ace,
from the moment [Am]I first saw you
I [G]never looked [F]away
I'll never forget [C]how you looked that
Sat[G]urday when you told me
[Am]We could never b[G]e together,
[F]and I could never change
[Am][E]

[Verse 4]
[Eb]Mother, Mother is it you
who's call[Am]ing?
Lights out, lay down
[F]We'll sle[C]ep when we're dead,
that time [G]is now
But soft speak will drown out how [F]I can't
do what's [Em]right around [Am]you
Cold breeze, no [F]coat, ex[C]cuses used to take
words [G]from my throat. False hope confirmed
De[F]ceits a language I [Em]can't hope to learn

[Verse 5]
[F]So when we'[G]re standing on thi[E]s street
like we [Am]have a [G]hundred [F]times
We will [G]celebrate the [E]years you

[Verse 6]
stalled and couldn't decide
[C]I remember your f[G]ace,
from the moment [Am]I first saw you
I [G]never looked [F]away
I'll never forget [C]how you looked that
Sat[G]urday when you told me
[Am]We could never b[G]e together,
[F]and I could never change

[Verse 7]
[Dm]I used to believe that[Am] every
[Dm]person had a pur[Am]pose
In this [Dm]swirling ball of in[Am]decision
[C]that consumes us [G]all
[Dm]I used to believe that[Am] every
[Dm]person had a per[Am]son
They could [Dm]always count on and [Am]not be scared of,
[C]one for every[G]one

[Verse 8]
[F]So when I'm[G] standing on thi[E]s street
like I [Am]have a hun[G]dred [F]times
Can I [G]walk away and [E]finally leave,

[Verse 9]
finally leave all of this behind?
[C]I remember your f[G]ace,
from the moment [Am]I first saw you
I [G]never looked [F]away
I'll never forget [C]how you looked that
Sat[G]urday when you told me
[Am]We could never b[G]e together,
[F]and I could never change

[Verse 10]
[C]I remember your f[G]ace,
from the moment [Am]I first saw you
I [G]never looked [F]away
I'll never forget [C]how you looked that
Sat[G]urday when you told me
[Am]We could never b[G]e together,
[F]and I could never change
