She had two babies,

one was six months, one was three
C#m B5-Asus2
in the war of forty four.

Every telephone ring, every heartbeat stinging when she

her son grow to know his father?

(repeat verse 1 chords)
He showed up all wet on the rainy front step
wearing shrapnel in his skin.
And the war he saw lives inside him still.
It's so hard to be gentle and warm.
The years pass by and now he has granddaughters
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
C G
Oh, so you look at me from across the room. You're
C G C
wearing your anguish again. Believe
me, I know the feeling; it
Em Asus2 B5
sucks you into the jaws of anger.
C G
Oh, so breathe a little more deeply, my love. All we
D C C
have is this very moment
C G C
and I don't want to do what his father and his father and
G Asus2
his father did. I want to be here now.

Du du du's
