And you think of all the people suffering and you bury that pain
    D               G                    Em           A7
But you can tell me everything and we'll ride on that wave

D                  G             Em                      A7
Dad hit you on the hand just for holding your chopsticks wrong
          D                   G              Em                  A7
Then your mom locked you in a shed and Uncle Sam dropped an atom bomb
           D                  G                  Em         A7
But you're not alone, you can let it go and just weep on my breast
    D                  G                   Em        A7
And cover me with your tenderness and that pain will pass
