..Verse..
G                       Em
Some philosophies fuel a belief in the self,
G                       Em
constructed to keep one's goods on one's own shelf.
G                        Em
Built well you're a strong letter I,
G                        Em
with your feet on the ground and your head to the sky.
G                   Em
Now and then you can bend,
              G          Em     
it's okay to lean over, lean over my way.
  C                             Em
You fear that you can't do it all,
             G
and you're riiiight.
                          Em
Even  day takes relief every day
            G                  Em
from its work making light from the night.


..Chorus..
           Em             C
When you're holding me
     G                 C
we make a pair of parentheses.
      Em                 C
There's plenty of space to encase
                   G
whatever weird way my mind goes,
                 C
I know I?ll be safe in these arms. (x2)

 
..Bridge..
                   G                C
If something in the deli aisle makes you cry
    Em                         C
of course I?ll put my arm around you
                   G
and I?ll walk you outside,
                  C
through the sliding doors,
              G
why would I mind? (x2)


              Em                   G
You're not a baby if you feel the world.
              Em                     C                 G
All of the babies can feel the world. That's why they cry.
