Verse I: A A Oh lord, won't you leave me F Leave me on my knees? G Cause I belong to the ground now A And it belongs to thee A And oh lord, won't you leave me F Leave me just like this? G Cause I belong to the ground now A I want no more than this A How I long for the autumn F The sun keeps burning deep G Every stone in this city keeps reminding me of ya A A Can you protect me from what I want? F G The 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 G Make 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 G Make 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 F And I can't stand the heat G I lost my shoes and left the party A I wander in the street A I put my feet into the fountain F The statues all asleep G No use wishing on the water It grants you no relief Chorus: A G F Mother, make me G Make 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 G Make me a song so sweet A G F A A F G Heaven trembles, fallen at our feet Repeat Verse I
