Am G
Mother, Mother
Am G
I can't take another
Am G F G
Moment here the way that it is
Am G
Heartache, heartache
Am G
It's a fear I can't shake
Am G F G
It heals and then it's broken again
[Chorus]
Dm Am G Am
The things I love seem to slip through my hands
Dm Am G Am
Like a big red balloon or a grain of sand
Am G Dm Am
But I see the future through the eyes of the past
F G Am
Still I somehow want to make this last
[Verse]
Am G
They say the darkest hour
Am G
Is just before a flower
Am G F G
Opens to the light of the sun
Am G
And you're my reason
Am G
My softly changing season
Am G F G
Tell me I'm the only one
[Chorus]
Dm Am G Am
The things I love seem to slip through my hands
Dm Am G Am
Like a big red balloon or a grain of sand
Am G Dm Am
But I see the future through the eyes of the past
F G Am
Still I somehow want to make this last
F G A
Still I somehow want to make this last
[Bridge]
C E7
All my life I've been fooling myself
Am G D/F#
Trying to make the wrong things right
F E7
Like a bird against the cold hard wind
Am G F
Trying to find the end of the night
[Chorus]
Dm Am G Am
The things I love seem to slip through my hands
Dm Am G Am
Like a big red balloon or a grain of sand
Am G Dm Am
But I see the future through the eyes of the past
F G Am
Still I somehow want to make this last
F G Am
Still I somehow want to make this last
