Can you protect me from what I want? The love I let in, it left me so lost Mother, make me Make me a big tall tree So I can shed my leaves and let it blow through me Mother, make me Make me a big grey cloud So I can rain on you things I can't say out loud (intro riff) All these couples are kissing and I can't stand the heat I lost my shoes and left the party I wander in the street I put my feet into the fountain, the statues all asleep No use wishing on the water It grants you no relief Mother, make me Make me a bird of prey So I can rise above this, let it fall away Mother, make me Make me a song so sweet Heaven trembles, fallen at our feet (intro riff) Solo: e|------------------5---8-5-----575----------------------------------------| B|--------------------5-----5-58----5--------------------------------------| G|-7s9--7s9--7s9----------------------7-5-5757-7b5---5---7b5---5-----------| D|-9s11-9s11-9s11----------------------------------7---5-----7---5---4-5---| A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| Oh lord, won't you leave me, leave me on my knees Cause I belong to the ground now And it belongs to thee And oh lord, won't you leave me, leave me just like this Cause I belong to the ground now I want no more than this Oh lord, won't you leave me, leave me on my knees Cause I belong to the ground now And it belongs to thee And oh lord, won't you leave me, leave me just like this Cause I belong to the ground now I want no more than this x8
