[Intro 1]
[Am][G][C][C]
[Dm][Em][F][C]

[Verse 1]
[Am]I wa[Em]s sat up on[F] the train
Staring out the window at the rain (aye)
[Am]I heard this littl[Em]e lady must'[F]ve felt the pain
Ask her mum if the blazing sun'll
ever shine again
[Am]I felt asham[Em]ed feel the same[F]
not her mother, though
Nah, started to laugh got her [G]son involved
[C](aye) Mention the past like a running joke
And told her without all the rain
there's no stuntin' growth
[Am]Clos[Em]e, ah, to ever[F]ything and nothing,
picture past the honeymoon and bluffing
Where the wooden [Am]spoon is only [Em]cuffing
[F]Shorter the discussion
but the roots can't manoeuvre out of nothing
I've been suffering these [Am]dreamy [Em]days (ah)
[F]Remedy and lust
don't hold any memories of us
Rather [G]hold you every[C]day
until the memories are dust
Yo, we only caught the train
cause you know I hate the bus

[Chorus 1]
Never get e-
[Am](nough) [Em]Born [F]and raised
Made attempts to crawl [Am]a way
[Em]Find [F]a way to exist and hide your f[Am]ace,
[Em]some re[F]late
Leave everything in yester[G]day
[C][C]

[Verse 2]
[Am]They ask a[Em]bout the bible[F] I was reading
Told them that the title was misleading,
labelled it je[Am]rusalem
But [Em]really it's for [F]cooking middle eastern
I could see your mind
was changing with the seasons,
shady for a [Am]reason [Em](ah)
[F]They will start decreasing,
leaving like the orange in the evening
It was [G]creeping through the [C]clouds
but now I'm proud to see the images releasing
I just wish the little lady could've seen it
but she was dreaming
[Am](ah)[Em] Reckon she's stan[F]ding with her mum,
saying to her "Look, mother, here's the sun",
rooted in the [Am]moment
'til the [Em]memories are [F]done
So I sit and start to wonder
on the woman she'll become
Wonder if I'll have a [Am]son or a d[Em]aughter
[F]Ones that I brought up never strong,
never telling me to run
Never [G]tried to find a [C]sum, tryna get it done
Yo, I wonder if she'll ever be

[Chorus 2]
as clever as her mum, one
[Am]Born[Em] and r[F]aised
Made attempts to crawl [Am]a way
[Em]Find [F]a way to exist and hide your f[Am]ace,
[Em]some re[F]late
Leave everything in yester[G]day
[C][C]
[Am]Born[Em] and r[F]aised
Made attempts to crawl [Am]a way
[Em]Find [F]a way to exist and hide your f[Am]ace,
[Em]some re[F]late
Leave everything in yester[G]day
[C][C]
