I try to welcome my sorrow. 
                   G
There's no escape, anyway.
G                   F            
If a guest turns up uninvited, do
               C                 
 you burn your house down to keep 
         G
them away?
G                  F        C   
I think of my grandparents, and 
                 G
I think of their sons,
G                   F          C
who can't set aside themselves 
                     G
and just be there for once.

I think of my brother. I've 
                 G
never been there for him.
G                     F          
He's always had to be brave. I've
        C                    G
 been a coward since we were kids.

G                    F          
I try to welcome the joy, but I 
C                         G
don't want to hold it too tight.
G                                 
Does it matter how much you love 
      F      C                     
the sun? It's still going to set at 
G
night.
G                F         C    
I think of my dad, writing 
                 G
haikus for butterflies.
G                              F 
Something's changed in his life. 
               C                   
He used to have so much pain in his
     G
 eyes.

I think of my mom. She's always 
             G
been so smart,
G                         F       
but she keeps getting wiser the 
 C                         G
more she listens to her heart.
G           Bb             F    
And it goes on and on and on and
    G
 on.

G       Bb             F        G
It goes on and on and on and on.
