[Verse]
A                                              G F
  Oh lord, won't you leave me, leave me on my knees

                             G
Cause I belong to the ground now

                      A
And it belongs to thee

                                                    G F
And oh lord, won't you leave me, leave me just like this

                             G
Cause I belong to the ground now

                        A
I want no more than this

                                                  G F
How I long for the autumn, the sun keeps burning deep

                     G                     A
Every stone in this city keeps reminding me, oh!

                             G F
Can you protect me from what I want?

                      G
The love I let in, it left me so lost
[Chorus]
A        G
  Mother, make me

F            Dm
  Make me a big tall tree

A         G           F               Dm
  So I can shed my leaves and let it blow through me

A        G
  Mother, make me

F           Dm
  Make me a big grey cloud

A         G         F                      G    A
  So I can rain on you things I can't say out loud
G F G (intro riff) [Verse]
A                                                     G F
  All these couples are kissing and I can't stand the heat

                              G
I lost my shoes and left the party

                      A
I wander in the street

                                                   G F
I put my feet into the fountain, the statues all asleep

                       G
No use wishing on the water
It grants you no relief [Chorus]
A        G
  Mother, make me

F            Dm
  Make me a bird of prey

A         G        F                Dm
  So I can rise above this, let it fall away

A      G
Mother, make me

F          Dm
Make me a song so sweet

A     G       F                  A
Heaven trembles, fallen at our feet
G F G A G F G (intro riff)
