🎶 Mother

[Bbm]Oh lord, won't you leave me, leave me on my [Db] [Em]knees
Cause I belong to the ground [Db]now
And it belongs to [Bbm]thee
And oh lord, won't you leave me, leave me just like [Db] [Em]this
Cause I belong to the ground [Db]now
I want no more than [Bbm]this
How I long for the autumn, the sun keeps burning [Db] [Em]deep
Every stone in this [Db]city keeps reminding [Bbm]me, oh!
Can you protect me from what [Db]I [Em]want?
The love I let in, it [Db]left me so lost

[Bbm]Mother, [Db]make me
[Em]Make me a [Eb]big tall tree
[Bbm]So I can [Db]shed my [Em]leaves and let it [Eb]blow through me
[Bbm]Mother, [Db]make me
[Em]Make me a [Eb]big grey cloud
[Bbm]So I can [Db]rain on [Em]you things I can't say [Db]out [Bbm]loud
[Db] [Em] [Db]
[Bbm]All these couples are kissing and I can't stand the [Db] [Em]heat
I lost my shoes and left the [Db]party
I wander in the [Bbm]street
I put my feet into the fountain, the statues all [Db] [Em]asleep
No use wishing on the [Db]water
It grants you no relief

[Bbm]Mother, [Db]make me
[Em]Make me a [Eb]bird of prey
[Bbm]So I can [Db]rise [Em]above this, let it [Eb]fall away
[Bbm]Mother, [Db]make me
[Em]Make me a [Eb]song so sweet
[Bbm]Heaven [Db] [Em]trembles, fallen at our [Bbm]feet
[Db] [Em] [Db] [Bbm] [Db] [Em] [Db]
[Bbm]Oh lord, won't you leave me, leave me on my [Db] [Em]knees
Cause I belong to the ground [Db]now
And it belongs to [Bbm]thee
And oh lord, won't you leave me, leave me just like [Db] [Em]this
Cause I belong to the ground [Db]now
I want no more than this
[Bbm]Oh lord, won't you leave me, [Db]leave me on my [Ab]knees
Cause I belong to the ground [Db]now
And it belongs to [Bbm]thee
And oh lord, won't you leave me, [Db]leave me just like [Ab]this
Cause I belong to the ground [Db]now
I want no more than this
