Tom: Am

Am
You lock the house
F
You slam the door
Dm                                 Am
You do it so hard your fingers are sore
Am            Bm7b5
I've seen you act
Bm7b5      E7
This way before
E7           Am
Just once before

Am
You know, you're right
F
Turn out the lights
Dm                               Am
Maybe we can make it through the night
Am        Bm7b5
I hold my tongue
Bm7b5      E7
I pay the price
E7          Am
It's a sacrifice

Am
But one two three
            Dm
We're family
G                                  Am
Like an apple falling softly from a tree
Am
And if you cry
Am           Dm
Then I can't sleep
Dm          G                               Am
And I won't rest until you're lying next to me
          Bm7b5                          E7
I have to say, I used to feel a lot like you
E7         Am
Not long ago

Am
You went to school
F
You were so young
Dm                                 Am
Don't forget where it is you came from
Bm7b5                              E7
I used to worry that I'd never be someone
E7        Am
Not long ago

Am
You learned the rules
F
You learned them twice
Dm                            Am
No-one got somewhere by being nice
Bm7b5
You did your best
E7
To get in fights
E7              Am
When you wanted more

Am
But one two three
           Dm
We're family
G                                       Am
Like an apple falling softly from that godforsaken tree
Am
And if you cry
              Dm
Then I can't sleep
Dm            G                             Am
And I won't rest until you're lying next to me
Bm7b5                                    E7
I have to say, I used to feel a lot like you
E7        Am
Not long ago

Bm7b5                                    E7
I have to say, I used to feel a lot like you
E7       Am
