Don't Shut Me Down

Bb
  A while ago I heard the sound of 
children's laughter
Gm
  Now it's quiet, so I guess they 
left the park
Cm
  This wooden bench is getting 
harder by the hour
    F                              
The sun is going down, it's getting
 Bb        F/A
 dark

Bb
  I realise I'm cold
F/A
  The rain begins to pour
     Bb/D                          
As I watch the windows on the 
  Gm       ( Gm(add9) Gm )
second floor
Eb                                
  The lights are on, it's time to 
    Eb  Bb/D  Bb  F
go (ohooo..)
             Bb              Eb/G
It's time at last to let him know

( Cm  F )

Cm                               F
I believe it would be fair to say
             Bb       Gm
 You look bewildered
        Cm                       Ab
And you wonder why I'm here today
    Eb/G             Bb
And so you should, I would
       Eb                    Bb/D
When I left I'd had enough
                     Cm        
But in thе shape and form I ..appear
Eb/Bb
 now
       Ab
I have lеarned to cope
    Eb/G          Ab           Bb
And love and hope is why I am 
        G
here now

( Dm  G )

Dm

hall
G         C      Am
Or let me enter?
    Dm                            Bb
The apartment hasn't changed at all
   F             C
I got to say I'm glad

           F
Once these rooms were witness to our
 love
C/E                 Dm         
  My tantrums and increasing.. 
F/C
frustration
      Bb
But I go from mad
