D       E    A  B
Mother, hold me high
              Em
I live in the dirt
        A             D
Send me back into the light
        A
Where I know
             B
That nothing hurts me
                      Em
Cause I’ve been there before
           A                       D
I was even born and I think it was fine

        E    A        B
Send me home into the clouds
                       Em
Hey little boy you can settle down
             A                        D
You’re going right back to where it’s warm
         Em   A                  B
Down the hall toward the pearled gate
                    Em
They are singing my name
        A       D
And I’d like to join them


[Bridge 1]

         Gm                  D          Gmaj7    G
In these halls it looks like lights are changing again
D          Gmaj7
Lights are changing again
D          Gmaj7
Lights are changing again

D        Gm            G    D
In these halls it look like lights
    Gmaj7          D
Are changing again
    Gmaj7    G     D
Are changing again
    Gmaj7    G
Are changing
    A#     C       D E
And I need them to


[Verse 2]

   D       C#      B
So, let me be as I was
                    G
Burning high in the night
        A                 D
An easy noise and a quiet glow

       C#m         B
Add my name to the list
            B7          Em
And you can carve it in stone
         A                D
Take the heart, leave the bone

        C#          B
Send my skin to the ground
                              G
Hey little boy you can settle down
             A                        D
You’re going right back to where it’s warm
         C#m                      B
Down the hall towards the pearled gate
                    G
They are singing my name
        A
And I’d like to
     A
I’d like to
A
Join them


[Bridge 2]

             A F# A   Bm
I’ll take my halo now please

Come down, find me
         F#m
And I’ll watch from above
            D           Bm   D
Floating on feelings of love
          C#7  C#                    D
Seeing my body decay and turn into a flower

That’s okay


[Chorus 1]

A  C#m                       F#m
  This time would you let me stay asleep
     Bm       C#m
In a lifelong lullaby

A C#m                F#m
  Living in a vivid, well-lit dream
     Bm          Em         A
In a bedroom far outside of time

C#m             F#m
Waiting for the end that never comes
    Bm            Em
Not dead I’m just not alive

A C#m             F#m
  Letting all the other people know
         D
That I’m here
         A      C#7 Dmaj7
But I’ve joined the divine


[Outro]

C#m C# Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7

          Dmaj7      Amaj7 C#m Dmaj7  Amaj7
Could you make it so no    one cries
          Dmaj7         C#m Dmaj7
Could you make it so no one cries
