[Verse]
           C   
Now that I know
    C          
The way it goes
              F                         C  
You gotta pay back every penny that you owe
C               
Twelve years old
   C                  
In your mama's clothes
F                                 C   
Shut the blinds and lock up every door
           C   
And if you hear
C                   
Someone's comin near
     F                                       C   F
Just close your eyes and make them disappear now ■
C           
■ Years away
C                  
Finds me here today
   F                   C      
On my own always on my way now
             C      
So I send my friends
Csus4                     
Gifts from where I've been
                                              C   
Something for the hand they're never there to lend
                  C   
Better keep those eyes
C                
Climbing paradise


[Chorus]
          F                       C             Csus4 F
And don't pretend you won't reach it in the end now   ■


[Verse]
C             
■ Dearest dear
  C7                
I know you been here
F                                         C  
Why'd you run tell me why'd you disappear now
            C  
That you're not
          Csus4
Here with me   
F                                            C      
Seems to be the only time that I can see you clearly
          C   
I may not know
                                  C7  
How to treat or give you what you need
      F                                     C   C7
But I am a gentleman who says what he means now ■ 


[Chorus]

[Verse]
F C               
■ ■ And now I sing
C            
Upon my knees
Bb         F                        C     
And praise the kindness of a gentle breeze
  C           
I see it swell
       C                  
Like a story in me to tell
C                                     
Told years away and past my baby dying
             C7   C 
So you raise them up
C7                   
To heaven always hell
C               F                 C          
They're unaware share give a hand to help son
            C        
Oh you give them away
            C                       
But they'll come back to you someday


[Chorus]
F                                    C       C7  
Wanna know why nobody was ever there to help them
       C7           
And no it ain't fair
    Csus4                 
And if God forbid you care
F                                 C            
It's enough to get you in a whole lotta trouble
   C      
Oh realize
                 Csus4   
It ain't wise to idealize
F                                C   Csus4   
Or put your life in the hands of any struggle

[Verse]
C             
Never renounce
C                  
Or ever claim to be
F                               C             
And never buy that freedom just ain't free now
Csus4 C   
Ella  sang
Csus4          C   
Sifting in the sand
F                             C         
Like a hymn within to help us understand
C            
Heaven awaits


[Outro]
C                     
We're making our stand
F                       C           C7 F C
Glory bound and sparrow in our hand ■  ■ ■
