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