[Verse 1]
Bm
I steal a look between the blinds

  A
I unwind

Bm
She sleeps in comfort in my arms

       A                Bm
She is plain but she is mine
Our child is silent but awake
             A             Bm
I run my hands through his hair
I teach him manners and how to stick up
          A                   Bm
For himself when things get bad
I tell him son never throw the first punch
    A                           Bm
And If you must fight, make it clean
[Chorus]
    Em  Bm      A
SHIOLA, SHIOLA, will all be forgiven?

            Bm  A                                 Em
SHIOLA, SHIOLA, Am I strong enough to start again alone?

     Bm       A
The taste of home is filling up my mouth

Bm     A                         Em
Is it wrong to love a family of ghosts?

     Bm      A                       Em
Her door is open the windows are all up

                     A  Bm
She says "come inside"
[Verse 2]
Bm
I live alone more or less

          A               Bm
I summon wife, child, and happiness

           Em          Bm   Am
Build them up from the dirt and clay

          Bm           A
I have to believe that all will be forgiven
[Chorus]
    Em  Bm      A
SHIOLA, SHIOLA, will all be forgiven?

            Bm               A                    Em
SHIOLA, SHIOLA, Am I strong enough to start again alone?

    Em  Bm                A
SHIOLA, SHIOLA, my heart is overflowing

    Am  Bm            A                          Am
SHIOLA, SHIOLA, with love and anger coiled into one
[Verse 3]
Em    Bm       A
They take and take

                         Em
But never get their fill

Bm        A
I try and try

                 Am
But fail against my will

Bm         A                              Em
I wait and wait for that hand to sweep me up

    Bm                 A    Bm
And take me down that road
