Oh, my son, don't you go far

But we are alright here

Pullout bed, pulled up near

With the nurses fighting the fever

Like smoke jumpers leaving
F# G#m
Their plane for the fire
Fb B
And the pilot climb in higher

So your dreams they don't get tired

Lights blinking around your head

You're like a Giant and the city's your bed

And fall another day

Where do you think he is
F# G#m
Does he feel our gentle kiss?

Is he coming back?

Can I hold him in my lap?

Away from these machines

Monitors and IVs

You pour into me

Oh, my son, it's ok
B F#
Let the machine breath for you
B G#m
You'll breath again
Fb B
As soon as you can
Fb B
Maybe open up your eyes
Fb B
I think I saw a smile
F# G#m
When I put the SOX game on
Fb B
On the radio
Fb B
When the light is getting low
Fb B
And still they do not know
Fb B
And we can't get any answers
[Bridge]
F# G#m
But you know that it ain't dark
Fb B
In the middle of Fenway Park
Fb B
And the crowd sings with all their heart
Fb Fb Fb B
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
[Chorus 3]
