Tom: Am
Am
Oh what these, these aren’t tears
C
It’s just the rain that wasn’t brave enough to fall
F
And what they hear isn’t laughter after all
G
It’s just your voice learning for once to stand up tall
[Chorus]
Am
And when the rain came down
I made a vow out to the gods
C
Please let her live just one more day
Cos she is so much more than all her scars
F
And if she doesn’t have the will
G
But it seems the world does I’ll stay because
I will be the man my father never was
Am C F G
[Verse 2]
Am
And what you hear is not silence
C
It’s just the trees waiting to hear what next you’ll hum
F
And what you see is not the dark
It’s just the gods upturning inkpots
G
Cos they know what you’ll become
[Chorus]
Am
And to those gods I will speak bluntly
We’ve an accord
C
If you ever touch or harm him
Please rest assured
F
That you might not fear a man
G
But to a woman by the end you’ll kneel and plea
Cos I’m more than what my mum told me to be
Am C F G
[Bridge]
Am
And I can hear her sing
C
And I know she’s giving up
F
And I don’t know what to do, how to help her
G
How to bring her home
[Both]
Am
And I can hear him break
C
And he doesn’t understand
F
And I wish that I could take his hand
G
But where I’m going is for me and me alone
And I can her her sing
[Post Chorus]
Am F
If I don’t make it back from where I’ve gone
C G
Just know I loved you all along…
Am F
If I don’t make it back from where I’ve gone
C G
Just know I loved you all along…
C G
Loved you all along…
