C#m                  B       
The sun is rising so late, it's 
    A
early
C#m                      B      A
I have spread myself too thin again
C#m                      B      
The guest of honor at my guilty 
A
party
C#m                      B       
Me and this silence have become 
   A
old friends

[Chorus]
A                   E     
Father make believe for your 
   B
daughters
A                   E       B
Mother take it easy on your sons
A                     E         
Sister balance like a tightrope 
B
walker
F#m                       A      
But for now you've got to keep 
   B
them young

[Instrumental]

C#m

[Verse 2]
C#m             B       A
My solitude it makes me softer
C#m             B      A
My suffering is not in vain
C#m                   B     
My depression sings, "how much 
   A
longer
C#m                    B
Will I have to wait to see a world 
free from pain?"

[Chorus]
A                   E     
Father make believe for your 
   B
daughters
A                   E       B
Mother take it easy on your sons
A                     E         
Sister balance like a tightrope 
B
walker
F#m                       A      
But for now you've got to keep 
   B
them young

[Chorus]
(only strum each chords once for the

A                   E     
Father make believe for your 
   B
daughters
A                   E       B
Mother take it easy on your sons
A                     E         
Sister balance like a tightrope 
B
walker
F#m                       A      
But for now you've got to keep 
   B
them young
A                   E     
Father make believe for your 
   B
daughters
A                   E       B
Mother take it easy on your sons
A                     E         
Sister balance like a tightrope 
B
walker
F#m                       A      
But for now you've got to keep 
   B
them young
