Mother And Father

 
              
 
Intro: C  Am  C  Am  F 
 
C                          Am 
...The nights are getting shorter 
C                          Am   F 
...I don't know where they go 
C                Am 
...I am getting older 
C                           Am 
...And it's starting to show 
     F                    C 
And ever since I left my mother 
                 Am 
It's much harder to know 
                    C 
How to make my own life here 
                    Am 
How to make my own home 
 
Chorus: 
F                      C 
I don't wanna wake up lonely 
                       Am 
I don't wanna just be fine 
                       C 
I don't wanna keep on hoping 
                        Am 
Forget what I had in mind 
F                      C 
I don't wanna wake up lonely 
                       Am 
I don't wanna just be fine 
                       C 
I don't wanna keep on hoping 
                        Am 
Forget what I had in mind 
   F                      (C) 
Forget what I had in mind 
 
     C                                           Am 
I remember the time when a kiss on the hand was enough 
          C                                                 Am 
'Cause we knew we were free and we knew what it meant to be loved 
     F                    C 
But ever since I left my father 
                  Am 
It's much harder to know 
                    C  
How to live my own life here 
                    Am 
When all I need is home 
 
Repeat Chorus 
 
Am                    G 
...These faces start to fade 
C                              Em 
...They're slipping through my hands 
Am                          G 
...It's where my heart was made 
C 
...And my feet will always land 
 
Repeat Chorus
