And if you follow me, son

C                 Cmaj7
The wind'll wrap around you

C
Carry you from the ground

C        Cmaj7
You will never be alone

      C
Your weight will turn to sunlight

C       Cmaj7
That's falling on a girl

C                       Cmaj7
You're still inside the world

Cmaj7          C                Cmaj7
She's reading books from empty women

Cmaj7          C                Cmaj7
They're giving beauty tips from empty hips

    C                       Cmaj7
And how is the water of the rain

    C                  Cmaj7
And how is the air of the wind

    C                        Cmaj7
And how are the arms of your mother

Cmaj7             C  Cmaj7
She's holding you in

C/F                C/G              Cmaj7/E             Cmaj7
Watch them as they try to fly their kites inside their bedrooms

C/F       C/G          Cmaj7/E  Cmaj7
That were only built for        drinking

C/F                      C/G              Cmaj7/E            Cmaj7
Your thoughts they never lasted long when you were under the sky

C/F              C/G                Cmaj7/E
Above it you can hold a thought forever

    C                       Cmaj7
And how is the water of the rain

    C                  Cmaj7
And how is the air of the wind

    C                        Cmaj7
And how are the arms of your mother

Cmaj7             C  Cmaj7
She's holding you in

    C                       Cmaj7
And how is the water of the rain

    C                  Cmaj7
And how is the air of the wind

    C                        Cmaj7
And how are the arms of your mother

Cmaj7             C  Cmaj7
She's holding you in

Cmaj7             C
She's holding you in

C         Cmaj7
Hey, hey, hey

Cmaj7             C
She's holding you in

C       Cmaj7
Hey, hey, hey
