[A] Oh lord, won't you leave me, leave me on my [G] [F] knees
Cause I belong to the ground [G] now
And it belongs to [A] thee
And oh lord, won't you leave me, leave me just like [G] [F] this
Cause I belong to the ground [G] now
I want no more than [A] this
How I long for the autumn, the sun keeps burning [G] [F] deep
Every stone in this [G] city keeps reminding [A] me, oh!
Can you protect me from what [G] I [F] want?
The love I let in, it [G] left me so lost
[A] Mother, [G] make me
[F] Make me a [Dm] big tall tree
[A] So I can [G] shed my [F] leaves and let it [Dm] blow through me
[A] Mother, [G] make me
[F] Make me a [Dm] big grey cloud
[A] So I can [G] rain on [F] you things I can't say [G] out [A] loud
[G] [F] [G]
[A] All these couples are kissing and I can't stand the [G] [F] heat
I lost my shoes and left the [G] party
I wander in the [A] street
I put my feet into the fountain, the statues all [G] [F] asleep
No use wishing on the [G] water
It grants you no relief
[A] Mother, [G] make me
[F] Make me a [Dm] bird of prey
[A] So I can [G] rise [F] above this, let it [Dm] fall away
[A] Mother, [G] make me
[F] Make me a [Dm] song so sweet
[A] Heaven [G] [F] trembles, fallen at our [A] feet
[G] [F] [G] [A] [G] [F] [G]
[A] Oh lord, won't you leave me, leave me on my [G] [F] knees
Cause I belong to the ground [G] now
And it belongs to [A] thee
And oh lord, won't you leave me, leave me just like [G] [F] this
Cause I belong to the ground [G] now
I want no more than this
[A] Oh lord, won't you leave me, [G] leave me on my [F#m] knees
Cause I belong to the ground [G] now
And it belongs to [A] thee
And oh lord, won't you leave me, [G] leave me just like [F#m] this
Cause I belong to the ground [G] now
I want no more than this
[A] [G] [F#] [G] [A] [G] [F#] [G] [A] [G] [F#] [G] [A] [G] [F#] [G]
[A] [G] [F#] [G] [A] [G] [F#] [G] [A] [G] [F#] [G] [A] [G] [F#] [G] [A]
