D7M Bm
Sweetness, 
Bm                  A9 A
On the rips of your old   dress. 
D7M Bm
Twilight 
Bm                      A9 A
Passed the banks of the warm  fire.

D7M                                   Bm         
Whispers in the dark, they hit the trees
A9                                               A
And they run in to your heart to find mamas sleeves.
D7M                                Bm
Daddy aint awake, and daylights gone. 
A9                                   A
Afraid of the dark, you think of mamas bones.

E7
Cause I cant live like this 
E7                        A *
Because I heard your mama cry.
A *                 D7M Bm
Behind the door Im listening; 
A                   D7M *
She said shes gonna fly.
D7M *                     E7 *    Riff
With words your mouth shes kissing.
E7             A7M         D7M Bm
And she said, "Woah, oh, oh, child,
D7M *
Your back is straight;
D7M *   E7 *                      Riff
Dont let hurt  curve it that way." 
E7 *
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah.

On the ribs of your bare  chest.
D7M Bm
Twilight 
Bm                  A9 A
On the roof of that snowy night.

D7M                                 Bm 
You ran outside without your boots on.
A9                                        A
You could be lost, youd find yourself at home
D7M                                  Bm
Where mamas house is up on the sunrise.
A9                           A
Sweet good God, just take me by surprise.

With words your mouth shes kissing.

And she said, "Woah, oh, oh, child,

D7M Bm A9 A x2 

             E7 *                       D7M Bm
But I said, "Mama, please take me home;
             A7M         D7M Bm
Cause I cant stand being alone
          E7                          D7M Bm      
Cause the pain is shooting down my spine again." 
       D7M *                   E7 *                     Riff
