[C] When you were born you [G] were not alone, nothing was carved into the [F] stone.
Quiet, but don't forget, you heard [D] someone say it [C] won't get better than this.
I was the son of your [G] father, as he held you up to [D] your mother.
No one will ever know, a love as pure [C] as the one leaf.
All right then, they [G] held you up, they held [Dm] you up.
And [D] everybody else fell to the [C] wayside.
This is the start, the [D] beginning, the prologue,
the beginning of the tale that's just [Dm] spamming a million synonyms.
They'll never come close to describe [Am] the feeling.
[C] Don't ever leave, [G] because if you do, dear, [Am] I guarantee that you'll regret the day you
did [C] and you'll miss all the simple things.
[G] And you'll see everything you've ever loved start fading till there's nothing
left at all.
And I believe that every [Am] broken bone is meant to be.
When I heal, [G] so it will be stronger [C] than it was before.
And I'll see the things [Am] that I'll pretend that I don't [C] see.
And I'll keep them in [G] my head, love, if only for memories.
[C] So now you're young [G] and you feel alone, despite friends come and leave.
And [F] all the good things that are surrounding [C] you, you can't stop thinking that there's
got to be some more to do.
And all the things that you [G] cherish turn into burdens [Dm] and there is no other path to take.
You [C] know what you got to do, but you don't [C] know how.
They hold [G] you back.
They [D] hold you down.
And you're going to feel bad, but you know that [C] you got to get out.
This is your pain, [G] your dilemma.
Do you stay in the town where the [A] rain's down or will you sail away?
Pull the anchor and go head [Am] for the calm, what may.
[C] You have to leave, [G] cause if you don't dear, [Am] you'll never see the things you read about in books.
[G] You saw the films and you were hooked, but everything you want won't come to you.

And I'll see the things that [Am] I'll pretend that I don't [C] see.
I'll [G] keep them in my head, love.
It's only for me.
[C] So now you're all [G] raising your own two souls to make yourself [F] a home.
You finally settled [C] down.
You've seen the world, but your heart never left this town.
They have the eyes of the [G] mother, kind of crooked teeth of [D] the father.
No one will ever know.
A love as pure as the one they feel [C] for them.
You'll [G] hold them up.
You'll [D] hold them up.
And everybody else will fall to [C] the wayside.
There is [D] no beginning.
Unless Mary Garrow it called living.
Someday you will return.
Every single ounce of the love [F] you were given.
[C] Someday they'll go.
[G] And when they leave home, [Am] you will be grateful for the lessons that you learned.
You [C] had to travel half the world [G] to realize what you knew all along.
That everything will end up where it belongs.
