::Verse #1::
G5                                    D5
Sister?s got her baby now and I?m glad for what she did
        E5                               
But her older one?s in trouble, man I really love that kid
 C5                                       D5
Maybe he could live here, for us it would be nice
     C5                                     D5
He needs some time to grow up, needs a father in his life


::Verse #2::
G5                      D5
Me I guess I?m lucky, mine have almost grown
       E5                                              
It?s amazing what they turn into from a seed that we have sown
    C5                                  D5
I remember nights just lying there, worrying a while
   C5                             D5
I look across the room now, and I see them and I smile


::Verse #3::
G5                              D5
All we ever want at night?s our families to be safe
       E5        
So we hold their hands and pick them up until they take their place
      C5                            D5
We know that there?s no promises, no no guarantees
         C5                              D5
So we pray and pray and pray at night whatever will be will be


::Pre-Chorus::
C5   E5   C5           D5     C5     E5  C5              D5               
Oh look at it coming down, making a mess of this whole town

And I think that I know why


::Chorus::
G5                                           D5                    
Everyone watched the wedding, two people in love
                E5
Two people whose blessing comes from higher up above
       D5                      C5                    D5
They?re not like you and me, they were destined to be
                           G5                    D5
Oh everyone watched the wedding, couldn?t get enough
                E5                            
At least for one moment we were right there up above
          D5                    C5                                 D5
Looking down on all the royal fuss Monday we were back upon the bus
 C5                                       D5
Driving through the neighbourhoods and factories that are us
      C5                                   D5
That one day, hope was all that we could see
                           G5   D5    E5 
And they looked so beautiful to me
                           C5
Hope was all that we could see
                    D5           G5
And they looked so beautiful to me

::Verse #4::
    G5                           D5
Oh sister I am tapped out, this month is really bad
         E5 
Can you hold on through May and then I?ll give you what I have
C5                        D5
Everything is going up, business going down
         C5                                 D5
I?ve been through this so many times it always comes around


::Verse #5::
      G5                       D5
My brother he?s a charmer, a snake with a silver tongue
     E5                         
Sometimes he up and disappears and we don?t know where he?s gone
      C5                     D5
My mother she?s a fighter, always made her way
      C5                         D5
She can?t believe she worries about us all to this day


::Verse #6::
G5                    D5
Me I just keep going, guess that I?ll be fine
      E5 
But I can?t believe I keep my head above the waterline
         C5                         D5
Some people round here want to get rich and run away
         C5                                 D5
That?s not for me no, I?ve got so many reasons to stay


::Pre-Chorus::
C5   E5   C5         D5       C5     E5  C5           D5               
Oh look at it coming down, making a mess of this damn town

And I think that I know why


::Chorus::
G5                                D5                    
Everyone watched the wedding, two people in love
                   E5
Two people whose blessing comes from higher up above
           D5            C5                         D5
They?re not like you and me, they were destined to be
                           G5                    D5
Oh everyone watched the wedding, couldn?t get enough
                E5

             D5                 C5                              D5
Looking down on all the royal fuss Monday we were back upon the bus
 C5                                       D5
Driving through the neighbourhoods and factories that are us
     C5                               D5
That knowing all our lives will never be
                  G5   D5    E5 
But they looked so beautiful to me
                        C5
All our lives will never be
                      D5        G5
But they looked so beautiful to me
