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