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