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