[Verse 1]
[C#m]The sun is rising so [B]late, it's e[A]arly
[C#m]I have spread myself too [B]thin ag[A]ain
[C#m]The guest of honor at my [B]guilty [A]party
[C#m]Me and this silence have [B]become old [A]friends
[Chorus]
[A]Father make believe [E]for your [B]daughters
[A]Mother take it easy [E]on your [B]sons
[A]Sister balance like a [E]tightrope [B]walker
[F#m]But for now you've got to [A]keep them [B]young
[Instrumental]
[C#m]
[Verse 2]
[C#m]My solitude it m[B]akes me [A]softer
[C#m]My suffering is [B]not in [A]vain
[C#m]My depression sings, "[B]how much [A]longer
[C#m]Will I have to wait to [B]see a world free from pain?"
[Chorus]
[A]Father make believe [E]for your [B]daughters
[A]Mother take it easy [E]on your [B]sons
[A]Sister balance like a [E]tightrope [B]walker
[F#m]But for now you've got to [A]keep them [B]young
[Chorus]
