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

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