I wrote down the chords to this song using the tabbed version by Joshua Garcia ([email protected]), so credit goes out to him. Let me know if there is anything that needs to be corrected.
G Dear Mother can you hear my footsteps? C#C# I’m so close, I’m right there. AG#B I’m almost home, so unprepared B To notice yet ignore AG# How hard it is to be around you. C#C# I've come clean, I’m washed out. AG#B I've flooded the engine, stranded myself. B This home, native land AG# They speak in words I can’t understand.
ABG#ED#A So when I’m standing on this street like I have a hundred times, BG# You don’t even glance at me you just pass me by.
ED#C#BA I remember your face, from the moment I first saw you I never looked away. ED# I’ll never forget how you looked that Saturday when you told me C#BA We could never be together, and I could never change.
G Mother, Mother is it you who’s calling? C#C# Lights out, lay down, AG#B We’ll sleep when we’re dead, that time is now. B But soft speak will drown out AG# How I can’t do what’s right around you. C#C# Cold breeze, no coat, AG#B Excuses used to take words from my throat. B False hope confirmed. AG#A Deceits a language I can’t hope to learn.
BG#ED#A So when I’m standing on this street like I have a hundred times, BG# We will celebrate the years you stalled and couldn't decide.
ED#C#BA I remember your face, from the moment I first saw you I never looked away. ED# I’ll never forget how you looked that Saturday when you told me C#BA We could never be together, and I could never change.
C#C# I used to believe that every person had a purpose C#B In this swirling ball of indecision that consumes us all. C#C# I used to believe that every person had a person C#B They could always count on and not be scared of, one for everyone.
ABG#ED#A So when I’m standing on this street like I have a hundred times, BG#G# Can I walk away and finally leave, finally leave all of this behind?
ED#C#BA I remember your face, from the moment I first saw you I never looked away. ED# I’ll never forget how you looked that Saturday when you told me C#BA We could never be together, and I could never change.
ED#C#BA I remember your face, from the moment I first saw you I never looked away. ED# I’ll never forget how you looked that Saturday when you told me C#~ B~ A~ We could never be together, and I could never change.
