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

[Verse 1]
[Em]Fear [Am]of a daughter run[G]s high
In the [Em]mind [C]of the father-to-be
[G]For For [Em]For something [Am]is
growing in[G]side
But we [Em]don't [C]talk about it, [G]do we?

[Verse 2]
In the [Em]long [Am]empty passionless
[G]night
[Em]Many times [C]to herself she has [G]prayed
That the [Em]baby [Am]will love her
much [G]more
Than the [Em]big boy who [C]stole
her [G]away

[Verse 3]
[C]And sometimes it takes a grown
man a long time to learn
Just what it would take a [G]child
a night to learn
[C]And sometimes it takes a grown
man a long time to learn
Just what it would take a [Bm]child
a night [G]to [Bm]learn

[Verse 4]
It pains her [Em]to know that some
[Cm]things will never [G]be [Bm]right
If the baby is [Em]just someone [C]else to [Cm]take
sides in [D]the fight[Dsus4][D]
Harsh [Em]words [Am]between bride and [G]groom
The [Em]dis tance is great
[C]er [G]each day
[Em]He smokes [Am]alone in the [G]next room
And [Em]she [C]knits her life[G] away

[Verse 5]
[C]And sometimes it takes a grown
man a long time to learn
Just what it would take a [G]child
a night to learn
[C]And sometimes it takes a grown
man a long time to learn
Just what it would take a [G]child
a night to [Bm]learn

[Verse 6]
A long time [Em]ago she saw [C]vis
[Cm]ions on the [G]stairs[Bm]
And when she felt [Em]dizzy her [C]mother
[Cm]was [D]always t[Am]here[Dsus4][D]
[Em]The home help is n[Am]o help at all[G]
I [Em]have not commit[C]ted [G]a crime
[Em]Angels [Am]gaze down from [G]the wall
Is there a [Em]God? [C]Is there a next t[G]ime?
