I a[G]sked what he was thinking but he h[C]adn't much to say
The r[G]evelry died down now, we'd re[C]ached the break of day
God k[G]nows it's not for glory, son, we just h[C]ave to make some room
Oh, my h[G]eart would surely break for you, sweet tr[C]easure of my womb[C][////]
With f[G]our and t[D/F#]wenty sh[Em]illings, we s[Em]ent him [D]on his w[C]ay[////]
