Verse
D G D
Oh, my son, don't you go far
D A
I need you not to go
D G D
You are long for this world, so stay close to the earth
A D
Just like I told you so
D G D
Sometimes I feel like we're falling fast
D A
But we never hit the ground
D Bm
And as we are falling
G D
I turn to you
[Chorus 1]
A G D
Say now we know the world ain't round
A G D
Oh, now we know the world ain't round
[Verse 2]
D G D
Oh, sweet baby you blow my mind
D A
With everything that you do
D Bm
We'll sit right here
G D
For every breath he makes
G D
For the sunlight on his face
A G D
And we do it 'til we break in two
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
D G D
Oh, sweet baby you blow my mind
D A
With everything that you do
D Bm
You said be strong
G D
For this road that we are on
G D
Could be dangerous, could be long
A Bm
You pour into me
G D
And I'll pour into you
A G D
And we'll do it 'til we break in two
[Verse 4]
D G D
Oh, my son, I see how you fight
D A
Now you need to rest
D Bm
I know you're scared
G D
But we are alright here
G D
Pullout bed, pulled up near
G D
With the nurses fighting the fever
G D
Like smoke jumpers leaving
A Bm
Their plane for the fire
G D
And the pilot climb in higher
G D
So your dreams they don't get tired
G D
Lights blinking around your head
G D
You're like a Giant and the city's your bed
[Chorus 2]
A G D
Rest now beautiful boy
A G D
You're gonna make it now beautiful boy
[Instrumental]

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