Verse
F A# F
Oh, my son, don't you go far
F C
I need you not to go
F A# F
You are long for this world, so stay close to the earth
C F
Just like I told you so
F A# F
Sometimes I feel like we're falling fast
F C
But we never hit the ground
F Dm
And as we are falling
A# F
I turn to you
[Chorus 1]
C A# F
Say now we know the world ain't round
C A# F
Oh, now we know the world ain't round
[Verse 2]
F A# F
Oh, sweet baby you blow my mind
F C
With everything that you do
F Dm
We'll sit right here
A# F
For every breath he makes
A# F
For the sunlight on his face
C A# F
And we do it 'til we break in two
[Instrumental]
F F F F
[Verse 3]
F A# F
Oh, sweet baby you blow my mind
F C
With everything that you do
F Dm
You said be strong
A# F
For this road that we are on
A# F
Could be dangerous, could be long
C Dm
You pour into me
A# F
And I'll pour into you
C A# F
And we'll do it 'til we break in two
[Verse 4]
F A# F
Oh, my son, I see how you fight
F C
Now you need to rest
F Dm
I know you're scared
A# F
But we are alright here
A# F
Pullout bed, pulled up near
A# F
With the nurses fighting the fever
A# F
Like smoke jumpers leaving
C Dm
Their plane for the fire
A# F
And the pilot climb in higher
A# F
So your dreams they don't get tired
A# F
Lights blinking around your head
A# F
You're like a Giant and the city's your bed
[Chorus 2]
C A# F
Rest now beautiful boy
C A# F
You're gonna make it now beautiful boy
[Instrumental]

[Verse 5]
F A# F
Sometimes I feel like we're falling fast
F C
But we never hit the ground
F Dm
And here we'll stay
A# F
And fall another day
A# F
I can't remember what to say
A# F
Where do you think he is
C Dm
Does he feel our gentle kiss?
A# F
Is he coming back?
A# F
Can I hold him in my lap?
A# F
Away from these machines
A# F
Monitors and IVs
C Dm
You pour into me
A# F
And I'll pour into you
C A# F
And we'll do it 'til we break in two
[Verse 6]
F A# F
Oh, my son, it's ok
F C
Let the machine breath for you
F Dm
You'll breath again
A# F
As soon as you can
A# F
Maybe open up your eyes
A# F
I think I saw a smile
C Dm
When I put the SOX game on
A# F
On the radio
A# F
When the light is getting low
A# F
And still they do not know
A# F
And we can't get any answers
[Bridge]
C Dm
But you know that it ain't dark
A# F
In the middle of Fenway Park
A# F
And the crowd sings with all their heart
A# A# A# F
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
[Chorus 3]
C A# F
Rest now my beautiful boy
C A# F
Oh, rest now my beautiful boy
C A# F
You're gonna make it now, beautiful boy
