Intro: G  D/F#  Em  C  D 

Verse 1

G                                 D/F# 
Sister?s got her baby now and I?m glad for what she did 
        Em                                
But her older one?s in trouble, man I really love that kid 
 C                            D 
Maybe he could live here, for us it would be nice 
     C                                  D 
He needs some time to grow up, needs a father in his life 


Verse 2
 
G                      D/F# 
Me I guess I?m lucky, mine have almost grown 
       Em                                               
It?s amazing what they turn into from a seed that we have sown 
    C                               D 
I remember nights just lying there, worrying a while 
   C                             D 
I look across the room now, and I see them and I smile 


Verse 3
 
G                              D/F# 
All we ever want at night?s our families to be safe 
       Em         
So we hold their hands and pick them up until they take their place 
      C                            D 
We know that there?s no promises, no no guarantees 
         C                              D 
So we pray and pray and pray at night whatever will be will be 


Pre-Chorus
 
C   Em/B   C           D     C     Em/B  C              D                
Oh look at it coming down, making a mess of this whole town 

And I think that I know why 


G D/F# Everyone watched the wedding, two people in love Em Two people whose blessing comes from higher up above D C D They?re not like you and me, they were destined to be G D/F# Oh everyone watched the wedding, couldn?t get enough Em At least for one moment we were right there up above D C D Looking down on all the royal fuss Monday we were back upon the bus C D Driving through the neighbourhoods and factories that are us C D That one day, hope was all that we could see G D/F# Em And they looked so beautiful to me C Hope was all that we could see D G And they looked so beautiful to me
Interlude: G D/F# Em D C D Verse 4: G D/F# Oh sister I am tapped out, this month is really bad Em Can you hold on through May and then I?ll give you what I have C D Everything is going up, business going down C D I?ve been through this so many times it always comes around Verse 5: G D/F# My brother he?s a charmer, a snake with a silver tongue Em Sometimes he up and disappears and we don?t know where he?s gone C D My mother she?s a fighter, always made her way C D She can?t believe she worries about us all to this day Verse 6: G D/F# Me I just keep going, guess that I?ll be fine Em But I can?t believe I keep my head above the waterline C D Some people round here want to get rich and run away C D That?s not for me no, I?ve got so many reasons to stay Pre-Chorus: C Em/B C D C Em/B C D Oh look at it coming down, making a mess of this damn town And I think that I know why
