A9   A9/B    C#m     D9    E
        Mama, they try and break me.

A9   A9/B    C#m      D9              E
        the window burns to light the way back home 
A9   A9/B      C#m      D9                E
        a light that warms no matter where they've gone.
A9   A9/B        C#m     D9        E
        they're off to find the hero of the day
A9   A9/B         C#m                 D9            E
            but what if they should fall by someone's wicked way?

          A9  A9/B        C#m     
still the window burns, time so slowly turns 

D9            E
someone there is sighing 

        A9  A9/B
keepers of the flames 
       C#m
do you feel your names? 
       D9            E
do you hear your babies crying? 


A9   A9/B    C#m     D9    E
        Mama, they try and break me.

A9   A9/B    C#m     D9    E
        still they try and break me 

A9   A9/B   C#m     D9         E
        'scuse me while i tend to how i feel 

A9         A9/B         C#m      D9       E
        these things return to me that still seem real 

A9   A9/B     C#m          D9        E
                    now deservingly this easy chair 
A9   A9/B    C#m               D9    E
           but the rocking stops by wheels of despair 

      A9     A9/B    
don't want your aid 
        C#m                D9               E
but the fist i've made for years won't hold or feel 

       A9   A9/B   
no i'm not all me 
          C#m               D9         E
so please excuse me while i tend to how i fell 



F#m
but now the dreams and waking screams that ever last through the night

F#m
So build the wall behind it crawl and hide until it's light 

F#m
can you hear your babies crying now? 

Solo ( A9   A9/B    C#m     D9    E )


( A9   A9/B    C#m     D9    E )
still the window burns 
time so slowly turns 
and someone there is sighing 
keepers of the flames, can't you feel your names? 
can't you hear your babies crying? 

( F#m )
but now the dreams and waking screams that
ever last the night 
so build a wall behind it crawl
and hide until it's light 
so can't you hear your babies crying now?
