How long must she stand
G
Before the ground, it gives way
B A
To an endless fall
G
She can feel this war on her face
B A
The stars on her pillow

She's folding in darkness begging for slumber

I'm not blind
G D
I can see it coming
D F
Looks like lightning
G D
In my child's eye
D F
I'm not frantic
G D
I can feel it coming

Violently shakes
G D
My body
B A
Her son's slanted
G
Always giving her the sideways eye
B A
The empty chair where dad sits
G
How loud can silence get?
B A
And mom, she reassures
G
To contain him but it's becoming a lie
B A
She tells herself and anyone else
G
Father is risking his life for our freedoms
D F
I'm not blind
G D
I can see it coming
D F
Looks like lightning
G D
In my child's eye
D F
I'm not frantic
G D
I can feel it coming
D F
Darling you'll save me
G D
If you save yourself
