Verse 1: Am Oh what these, these aren’t tears C It’s just the rain that wasn’t brave enough to fall F And what they hear isn’t laughter after all G It’s just your voice learning for once to stand up tall Chorus: Am And when the rain came down I made a vow out to the gods C Please let her live just one more day Cos she is so much more than all her scars F And if she doesn’t have the will G But it seems the world does I’ll stay because I will be the man my father never was Interlude: Am C F G Verse 2: Am And what you hear is not silence C It’s just the trees waiting to hear what next you’ll hum F And what you see is not the dark It’s just the gods upturning inkpots G Cos they know what you’ll become Chorus: Am And to those gods I will speak bluntly We’ve an accord C If you ever touch or harm him Please rest assured F That you might not fear a man G But to a woman by the end you’ll kneel and plea Cos I’m more than what my mum told me to be Interlude: Am C F G Bridge: Am And I can hear her sing C And I know she’s giving up F And I don’t know what to do, how to help her G How to bring her home Both: Am And I can hear him break C And he doesn’t understand F And I wish that I could take his hand G But where I’m going is for me and me alone And I can her her sing Post Chorus: Am F If I don’t make it back from where I’ve gone C G Just know I loved you all along… Am F If I don’t make it back from where I’ve gone C G Just know I loved you all along… C G Loved you all along…
