Mama, they try and break me.
Asus2 Asus2/B C#m Dsus2 E
the window burns to light the way back home
Asus2 Asus2/B C#m Dsus2 E
a light that warms no matter where they've gone.
Asus2 Asus2/B C#m Dsus2 E
they're off to find the hero of the day
Asus2 Asus2/B C#m Dsus2 E
but what if they should fall by someone's wicked way?
Asus2 Asus2/B C#m
still the window burns, time so slowly turns
Dsus2 E
someone there is sighing
Asus2 Asus2/B
keepers of the flames
C#m
do you feel your names?
Dsus2 E
do you hear your babies crying?
Asus2 Asus2/B C#m Dsus2 E
Mama, they try and break me.
Asus2 Asus2/B C#m Dsus2 E
still they try and break me
Asus2 Asus2/B C#m Dsus2 E
'scuse me while i tend to how i feel
Asus2 Asus2/B C#m Dsus2 E
these things return to me that still seem real
Asus2 Asus2/B C#m Dsus2 E
now deservingly this easy chair
Asus2 Asus2/B C#m Dsus2 E
but the rocking stops by wheels of despair
Asus2 Asus2/B
don't want your aid
C#m Dsus2 E
but the fist i've made for years won't hold or feel
Asus2 Asus2/B
no i'm not all me
C#m Dsus2 E
so please excuse me while i tend to how i fell
F#m
but now the dreams and waking screams that ever last through the night
F#m
So build the wall behind it crawl and hide until it's light
F#m
can you hear your babies crying now?

(Asus2 Asus2/B C#m Dsus2 E)
still the window burns
time so slowly turns
and someone there is sighing
keepers of the flames, can't you feel your names?
can't you hear your babies crying?
(F#m)
but now the dreams and waking screams that
ever last the night
so build a wall behind it crawl
and hide until it's light
so can't you hear your babies crying now?
