Ami7 Am6
She takes the back road and the lane
Ami7 D7
Past the school that has not changed in all this time
Ami7 Am6
She thinks of when the boy was young
B Emi Ami7
All the battles she had won just to give him life
Am6 Ami7 D7
That man, she loved that man for all his life
Ami7 Am6 B Emi
And now we meet to take him flowers and only God knows why
D6 B7/Es F#mi
For what's the use of pressing palms when children fade in mothers' arms?

It's a cruel world, we've so much to lose
B7/Es E Esus4 E
And what we have to learn, we rarely choose
D7/A C7/G D7/F#
So if it's God who took her son

You brushed my eyes with angels' wings
B Emi
Full of love, the kind that makes devils cry
Ami7 Am6 Ami7 D7
So, these days my life has changed and I'll be fine
Ami7 Am6 B Emi
But she just sits and counts the hours, searching for her crime
D6 B7/Es F#mi
So what's the use of pressing palms if you won't keep such love from harm?
D6
It's a cruel world, you've so much to prove
B7/Es E Esus4 E
And heaven help the ones who wait for you
D7/A C7/G D/F#
Well, I've no daughters, I've no sons
Dmi/F E7 Ami
Guess I'm the only one living in my life
