Verse 1
(C major) Been thinking that it might be nice
To see (F major) myself in someone's eyes
A little (C major) spitting image,
God, could show (F major) me
I'm not (C major) the best at staying calm
But (F major) I think I could handle almost
(C major) Every twisting curveball he could throw (F major) me
Verse 2
I (D minor) could choose what he (F major) wears
Comb his hair and brush his teeth (C major)
Pack his lunch and check his
home (G major) work for the week
Make sure (D minor) his shoes are tied
and say it's time to go (F major)
Drive real slow, pull up and park (C major)
I just couldn't let him get out of the car

Verse 3
In the land (F major) of the free and the
home (C major) of the terrified
They're thrown (F major) to the wolves in the
name (C major) of the red and white
Don't (E major) know if I'm built for that
(A minor) pray- that- (G major) he- gets- (F major) lucky life
Of (D minor) holding tight and waiting by the phone (G major)
And hoping he comes home
(C major)
Verse 4
I couldn't stop him getting sad
Or (F major) bundle him in bubble wrap
I'd (C major) try to help him keep
his heart wide open (F major)
I'd teach (C major) him how to bend and sway
That (F major) people leave and seasons change
But (C major) how could I explain a
world that's broken?
(F major)
Verse 5
(D minor)
I could take all his friends (F major) to a
film and buy them seat (C major) s
Give him money for the pop (G major)
corn and the sweets
Make sure he (D minor) brings a coat in
case he gets too cold (F major)
Drive real slow, pull up and park (C major)
I just couldn't let him get out of the car
Verse 6
In the (F major) land of the free and the
home (C major) of the terrified
They're thrown (F major) to the wolves in the
name (C major) of the red and white
Don't (E major) know if I'm built for that
(A minor) pray- that- (G major) he- gets- (F major) lucky life
Of (D minor) holding tight and waiting by the phone (G major)
And hoping he comes home
(C major)
Verse 7
It turns my stomach, breaks my heart
What (F major) happens in our own backyard
No (C major) blessing in the lesson
we keep learn (F major) ing
Before (C major) it's time to pick your name, oh,
(F major) I believe the winds can change
And (C major) I could drop you off without a worry (F major)
Verse 8
In the (F major) land of the free and the
home (C major) of the terrified
They're thrown (F major) to the wolves in the
name (C major) of the red and white
'Cause (E major) no one is built for that
(A minor) pray- that- (G major) he- gets- (F major) lucky life
Of (D minor) holding tight and waiting by the phone (G major)
And hoping he comes home
(C major)
