   G                                 D/F#
Oh Sister’s got her baby now and I’m glad for what she did
        Em                                                    
But her older ones in trouble now I really love that kid
C                           D
Maybe he could live here, for us it would be nice
   C                                   D
He needs some time to grow up, needs a father in his life


G                     D/F#
Me I guess I’m lucky, mine have almost grown
     Em                                              
It’s amazing what they turn into from a seed that we have sown
  C                                 D
I remember nights just lying there, worrying a while
   C                        D
I look across the room now, and I see them and I smile


G                               D/F#
All we ever want at night’s our families to be safe
      Em
So we hold their hands and pick them up until they take their place
C	            		      D                                                                        
We know that  there’s no promises, no no guarantees
      C                               D
So we pray and pray and pray at night whatever will be will be


C                    D     C 		               D
Oh look at it coming down, making a mess of this whole town.
D                                                  G
And  I think that I know why, everyone watched the wedding,
G             D/F#                   Em   
Two people in love, two people whose blessing comes from higher up above
			 C                         D
They’re not like you and me, they were destined to be..


			G			D/F#
Oh everyone watched the wedding, could’nt get enough
                 Em
At least for one moment we were right there up above
                        C                          D
Looking down on all the royal fuss. Monday we were back upon the bus
C                                     D
Driving through the neighborhoods and factories that are us
     C                                   D
That one day, hope was all that we could see…
                        G D/F# Em
And they looked so beautiful to me
                           C                       D            G
Hope was all that we could see, and they looked so beautiful to me.


G                              D/F#
Oh sister I am tapped out, this month is really bad
        Em
Can you hold on through May and then I’ll give you all I have
C                       D
Everything is going up, business going down
     C                                  D
I’ve been through this so many times it always comes around.


   G                         D/F#
My brother he’s a charmer, a snake with a silver tounge.
     Em
Sometimes he up and disappears and we don’t know where he’s gone
   C                       D
My mother she’s a fighter, always made here way
     C                                 D
She can’t believe she worries about us all to this day


G                     D/F#
Me I just keep going, guess that I’ll be fine,
      Em
But I can’t believe I keep my head above the waterline
     C                             D
Some people round here want to get rich and run away
C                                 D
That’s not for me no, I’ve got so many reasons to stay
  
 
C                    D       C                                              D
Oh look at it coming down, making a mess of this whole town.
D                                                  G
And  I think that I know why, everyone watched the wedding,
G             D/F#                   Em   
Two people in love, two people whose blessing comes from higher up above

                        C                          D

And knowing all our lives will never be… but they looked so beautiful to me
                         C                          D        G
All our lives will never be, but they looked so beautiful to me
