Intro: Am7 Am6 Am7 D7 Am7 Am6 B Em Am7 Am6 Am7 D7 Am7 Am6 B Em

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/D#                               F#mi
 For what's the use of pressing palms when children fade in mothers' arms?
                                         D6
It's a cruel world, we've so much to lose
              B7/D#        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
   Dmi/F           E7              Ami
He cannot be the one living in her mind

Dmi/F  G          Ami           Dmi/F   G           Ami
 "Take care, my love", she said, "Don't think that God is dead"
Dmi/F  G          Ami           F6    G         C     Ami7  Am6  Ami7  D7
 "Take care, my love", she said, "You have been loved"

Ami7      Am6              Ami7          D7
 If I was weak, forgive me, but I was terrified
Ami7                           Am6
 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/D#                                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/D#      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

Dmi/F  G          Ami          Dmi/F   G           Ami
 "Take care, my love", he said, "Don't think that God is dead"
Dmi/F  G          Ami          F6    G         C     Cadd9
 "Take care, my love", he said, "You have been loved"
