Verse
G C G
Oh, my son, don't you go far
G D
I need you not to go
G C G
You are long for this world, so stay close to the earth
D G
Just like I told you so
G C G
Sometimes I feel like we're falling fast
G D
But we never hit the ground
G Em
And as we are falling
C G
I turn to you
[Chorus 1]
D C G
Say now we know the world ain't round
D C G
Oh, now we know the world ain't round
[Verse 2]
G C G
Oh, sweet baby you blow my mind
G D
With everything that you do
G Em
We'll sit right here
C G
For every breath he makes
C G
For the sunlight on his face
D C G
And we do it 'til we break in two
[Instrumental]
G G G G
[Verse 3]
G C G
Oh, sweet baby you blow my mind
G D
With everything that you do
G Em
You said be strong
C G
For this road that we are on
C G
Could be dangerous, could be long
D Em
You pour into me
C G
And I'll pour into you
D C G
And we'll do it 'til we break in two
[Verse 4]
G C G
Oh, my son, I see how you fight
G D
Now you need to rest
G Em
I know you're scared
C G
But we are alright here
C G
Pullout bed, pulled up near
C G
With the nurses fighting the fever
C G
Like smoke jumpers leaving
D Em
Their plane for the fire
C G
And the pilot climb in higher
C G
So your dreams they don't get tired
C G
Lights blinking around your head
C G
You're like a Giant and the city's your bed
[Chorus 2]
D C G
Rest now beautiful boy
D C G
You're gonna make it now beautiful boy
[Instrumental]
G G G G
[Verse 5]
G C G
Sometimes I feel like we're falling fast
G D
But we never hit the ground
G Em
And here we'll stay
C G
And fall another day
C G
I can't remember what to say
C G
Where do you think he is
D Em
Does he feel our gentle kiss?
C G
Is he coming back?
C G
Can I hold him in my lap?
C G
Away from these machines
C G
Monitors and IVs
D Em
You pour into me
C G
And I'll pour into you
D C G
And we'll do it 'til we break in two
[Verse 6]
G C G
Oh, my son, it's ok
G D
Let the machine breath for you
G Em
You'll breath again
C G
As soon as you can
C G
Maybe open up your eyes
C G
I think I saw a smile
D Em
When I put the SOX game on
C G
On the radio
C G
When the light is getting low
C G
And still they do not know
C G
And we can't get any answers
[Bridge]
D Em
But you know that it ain't dark
C G
In the middle of Fenway Park
C G
And the crowd sings with all their heart
C C C G
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
[Chorus 3]
D C G
Rest now my beautiful boy
D C G
Oh, rest now my beautiful boy
D C G
You're gonna make it now, beautiful boy
