G
A black and white photograph

   Bm
of me up the garden path

G
wrapped up in my football scarf

   Bm
it sits here in my hand

G
and there mother smothered me

    Bm
and how she would mother me

    G
she knew how to suffer me

     Bm
like all mothers can

F          C
Now she is everywhere

    Am                     G#
the comb that runs through my hair

Eb         Cm
my posture on a chair

    G
but that's not who I am

G Bm G Bm

G
He ran from the arguments

    Bm
and sat on the garden fence

    G
and lived in the passing tense

     Bm
that fell from her lips

G
he tended the house so well

    Bm
and each time she rang his bell

     G
he'd climb back from where he fell

    Bm
and gathered his wits

F              C
Now I fear the mold is mine

  Am        G#
a vibration shakes my spine

Eb            Cm
as I walk the crooked line

  G
reality hits

CHORUS

               E            G C A
So let me walk free from you

                E          G C A
I know that you want me to

           E             G C A
let me try something new

             Bb
let me walk away

Bb
If it's not one thing it's your mother

F              C
how I love her how I love her

C
how I love her

Bb
but it's not so easy to say

F
please won't you let me walk away

       C                A
let me walk away let me walk away

INSTRUMENTAL A C#m Em Bm A C#m Em Bm

A
So let me walk on my own

    C#m
and finish my ice cream cone

   Em
if we are to make it home

     Bm
then all will be well

A
look see I'm a father now

    C#m
I'm raising my own eyebrow

    Em
and being in my own row

    Bm
and making life hell

F              C
This is me see here I am

Am             G#
doing the best that I can

Eb              Cm
this life has a subtle plan

    G
but you couldn't tell

REPEAT CHORUS David Winthrop [email protected]
