[Am7] She takes the back road and the [A6] lane
Past the school that has no [Am7] changed, in all this [D6] time
[Am7] She thinks of when the boy was [A6] young
All the battles she had [B7] won, [Em] just to give him [Am7] life
That manm she [A6] loved that man [Am7] For all his [D] life
[Am7] But now we meet to bring him [A6] flowers
And only God knows [B7] why [Em]
[D] For what’s the use in pressing [B7/Eb] palms
When children fade in mother’s [F#m] arms
[F#m] It’s a cruel world, we’ve so [F] much to loose
[D] And what we [B7] have to learn [E] we rarely choose [Esus4][E]
[Am] So if it’s [Gm] God who took her [D/F#] son
He [Dm/F] cannot be the [E] one [E7] living in her [Am] mind [Asus2][Am]
[F6] Take [G] care my [Am] love, she said [Asus2][Am]
[F6] Don’t [G] think that [Am] God is dead [Asus2][Am]
[F6] Take [G] care my [Am] love, she said [Asus2][Am]
[F6] You [G] have been [C] loved
[Am7][A6][Am7][D6]
[Am7] If I was [A6] weak, forgive me [Am7] but I was terri – [D] fied
[Am7] You brushed my eyes with angels [A6] wings, full of [B7] love
The kind that [Em] makes devils cry, So
[Am7] these days, my [A6] life has changed
[Am7] And I’ll be [D] fine (and I´ll be fine)
[Am7] But she just sits and counts the [A6] hours
Searching for [B7] her crime [Em] [-]
[D] So what’s the use of pressing [B7/Eb] palms
If you won’t keep such love from [F#m] harm
[F#m] It’s a cruel world, you’ve so [F] much to prove
[D] And heaven [B7/Eb] helps the ones [E] who wait for you [Esus4][E]
[Am] Well I’ve no [Gm] daughters, I’ve no sons [D/F#]
Guess [Dm/F] I’m the only [E] one, [E7] living in my [Am] life [Asus2][Am]
[F6] Take [G] care my [Am] love, he said [Asus2][Am]
[F6] Don’t [G] think that [Am] God is dead [Asus2][Am]
[F6] Take [G] care my [Am] love, he said [Asus2][Am]
[F6] You have [G] been [C] loved
