[Verse I]
A A Oh lord, won't you leave me
FLeave me on my knees?
GCause I belong to the ground now
AAnd it belongs to thee
AAnd oh lord, won't you leave me
FLeave me just like this?
GCause I belong to the ground now
AI want no more than this
AHow I long for the autumn
FThe sun keeps burning deep
GEvery stone in this city keeps reminding me of ya
A A Can you protect me
 
from what I want?
F GThe love I let in, it left me so lost
 
[Chorus]
***I decided to use A G F G instead of A G F D because
for me, it sounds better when played and sung on the
acoustic guitar. If you don't like it, just replace the
second G with a D chord
A G F Mother, make me
GMake me a big tall tree
A G F G So I can shed my leaves and let it blow through me
A G F Mother, make me
GMake me a big grey cloud
A G F A A F G So I can rain on you things I can't say out loud
 
[Verse II]
A A All these couples are kissing
FAnd I can't stand the heat
GI lost my shoes and left the party
AI wander in the street
AI put my feet into the fountain
FThe statues all asleep
GNo use wishing on the water
 
It grants you no relief
 
[Chorus]
A G F Mother, make me
GMake me a bird of prey
A G F G So I can rise above this, let it fall away
A G F Mother, make me
GMake me a song so sweet
A G F A A F G Heaven trembles, fallen at our feet
 
[Repeat Verse I]
