  Balancing the scale

Bb/F         Eb
All my job entails

                            Bb        F      Eb
Making sure that they’re prepared to see the world

F                    Gm            F
Making sure they’re fine on their own

             Cm               Bb
When they’re old and they’re grown

                 Ab
And all I see is shadows

         Eb/Bb                F             Bb
But that doesn’t make it easier to let them go

Bb    F    Eb    F
Oh oh oh oh oh

Bb                 Bb
  I walk past the doors

        Bb/A      Bb/F       Eb
And the corridors where they grew

     F            Bb   F               Gm      D
And all I feel is emptiness from this emptying nest

               Gm
Edmund are you there?

         F
I was unaware

    Eb             Bb              Ab
How difficult it’d be without you there

           Fm   F
I was unprepared
