Verse 1

Oh this soEn of mine I Dadd9lovEe so well

And C♯mall Ethe toil it Dadd9takEes

I’d gEive to him a gC♯m7arden

and kDeep it clear of snEakes

But the G♯mone thing he most treaAsures

Is to mBake his own misC♯mtakes - ohhh F♯m

He goes chaErging on the cDadd9lifEfs of life

A rC♯mecklEess mountainDadd9eerE

I could heElp him not to sC♯m7tumble

I could wDarn him what to fEear

I could sG♯mhout until I’m Abreathless

And he’d sBtill refuse to C♯mhear - ohhh F♯m

Chorus

But you cF♯mannot clA7Mose the Bacorn

Once the G♯m7oak begins to C♯mgrow

And you cG♯mannot G♯m7close your C♯m7heart

To what it fF♯mears and nA7eeds to kBnow

That the hG♯mardest pAart C♯mof loBve

Is the letting Ego

Verse 2

As a chiEld I found a sDadd9parErow

Who had fC♯malleEn from the nDadd9estE

And I nuErsed him back to hC♯m7ealth

Till he was stDronger than the rEest

But wG♯mhen I tried to hAold it

It would pBeck and scratch my cC♯mhest

Till I let itF♯m go

And I waEtched it fly Dadd9awaEy from me

With its bC♯mrighEtened self reDadd9solEve

And pEart of me was cC♯m7ursing

I had helDped it grow so stErong

And I fG♯meared it might go huAngry

And I feBared it might go wC♯mrong - ohhhF♯m

Chorus

But I cF♯mould not cA7lose the aBcorn

Once the G♯m7oak began to gC♯mrow

And I G♯mcannot G♯m7close my C♯m7heart

To what it fF♯mears and nA7eeds to knBow

That the haG♯mrdest pAartC♯m of lBove

E Dadd9 E C♯m E Dadd9 E

And it’s oEnly in Dadd9EdeEn

Grows a C♯mroseE without a tDadd9horEn

And your cEhildren start to lC♯m7eave you

On the dDay that they were bEorn

They will lG♯meave you there to cAheer for them

They will lBeave you there to C♯mmourn ever F♯mso

Like an Eark on uncDadd9harEted seas

Their C♯mliveEs will be toDadd9sseEd

And dEeeper is your C♯m7love for them

The Dcrueler is the cEost

And G♯mjust when they start to fAind themselves

Is wBhen you fear they’re C♯mlost - ohhhF♯m

And the G♯mrarest ApartC♯m of lBove

And the C♯mtruest part of AlovBe
