Hold out your [D] _ hand, _ love, [G] we'll [Em] figure [D] this out
[G] You don't need [A] to leave and [D] never [G] look _ back
_ _ _ _ [A] Take your [D] own _ time, love, [G] but [Bm] give [Em] it [D] a [G] chance

_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
Whisper [D] your _ name, son, [G] like they [D] fed [Em] you [D] to rats
[G] We've [D] kissed you and [A] blessed you, [D] we've walked on [G] our _ hands
_ _ Once [A] _
I [D] could swear, _ love, [G] I [D] heard the wind sing
[G] It [D] warned of this [A] day and the [G] cold [D] it might [G] _ bring _
_ Northern _ [A] _ [D] lights _ shine, love, [G] reflect [D] on the foil
[G] They'll let you [A] wade back to your [G]
[D] own [G] little soil
_ The _

_ [G] _ _ [A] we've finished [Em] the _ [D] glass
_ _ [G] _ [Em] The dawn's on its [D] way, [G] love, but [A] my son [Em] leaves today, _ [D] love
