_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C]
Awake, [Em] awake, you children bull, take hold of all your books [Am] and fold [C] the corners, they
[Em] warn us a storm was coming up.
[F#] What do you [Em] mean you've lost your scarlet welly boots?
Do you know what they [C] cost?
Wear a [Am] raincoat [Em] or it'll soak you to the bone.
What's it [G] like, the children ask?
It's just like falling snow.
[C] I am above you [Em] and I love you.
Don't you know that I'll be with you all along, as long as you are [Bm] kind to [F#] those who
are not strong and [B] cannot find [Em] their scarlet welly boots?
[C] Cause when it's cold, _ _ _ _ I'll wrap my [Em] scar _ around you.
And when [C] it's hot, _ _ _ I'll place your [Em] head into my hands.
And when [C] you scream that it's not fair, it's [D] [Em] like I've gone off to the coast, left you
[C] behind, just standing there, [G] pretending [Em] _ not to see your ghost.
If only [C] you could hear my voice, but [D] you are screaming far too loud to hear [C] me _ swear. _ _ _
Just [D] because I left doesn't mean that I'm [Em] not still _ _ _ _ _ there. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] I get to watch you grow up now and make me proud, make all of those mistakes that made me laugh.
[D] Oh darling Lord, how you made me laugh.
Get [Em] drunk with me, sing louder than you've sung for me.
Grow young each [C] time that thunder in your lungs, beg and [D] still rumble at the word.
[Em] Cause you were always strong, _ when you [C] were young you'd kick things just [Bm] as CMA would [Em] war.
They said, that girl, she's wrong, but I'll [C] stick up for you, even though you [D] haven't
got a clue.
You haven't got a fucking [C] clue. _ _ _ _
And I'm [Bm] so [Em] proud of you, _ _ and when [Bm] they [C] laugh at us, _ _ you'll feel [Bm] my [Em] fingers down your back.
[D] And when you [C] scream I'm not alright, [G] and throw [Em] my picture at the wall.
You [Bm] were [C] supposed to be my light, [Em] and keep me safe against them all.
How could [C] you leave me here, you'll scream, and [D] louder I'll scream back to you from out on [C] home.
_ And say, I know you're [G] strong enough, I know you're strong enough, I know you're strong
enough to do this on your _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ own.
_ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ I _ _ _ _ [C] know you're strong enough to do this, [D] you're strong enough to do this _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
on [Em] your own. _ _ _ _
[Bm] I [C] know you're strong enough, I _ _ [D] know you're strong enough, I _ _ know [C] you're strong enough
to do this on [Em] your own. _ _ _ _
[Bm] I [C] know you're strong enough to do this, young [D] girl _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] And _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ years _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ [Em] from now at night, that storm will break
You'll step outside to feel [C] it shake
And [Am] barefoot [Em] walk across the lawn
_ _ _ [C] You'll miss me, [G] Jesus Christ, you'll miss me
Just as much as all [C] those years [Am] ago
[F#] [Em] When I look up at this storm
[D] You'll [Em] say, I've been so scared
You left me here behind, do you not care?
How the [C] fuck am I supposed [Am] to carry [Em] on
Without [F#] you here?
_ [G] Just when you're about to give [F#] up
Every hope you have
[C] You'll turn around, perch by the stairs
_ _ _ [D] Someone's gone and left behind
_ A _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ brand new pair of [Em] scarlet woolly boots _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
