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