^GWelcome to the end of being alone inside your mind You're ^Ctethered to another and you're ^Gworried all the time You ^Dalways knew the melody but you ^Cnever heard it rhyme ^{Dsus9 C} She is ^Gfair and she is quiet, Lord, she doesn't look like me She ^Cmade me love the morning, she's a ^Gholiday at sea The ^DNew York streets are as busy as they ^Calways used to be ^G But I am the mother of E^Dvange^Gline

^GThe first things that she took from me were selfishness and sleep She ^Cbroke a thousand heirlooms I was ^Gnever meant to keep She ^Dfilled my life with color, cancelled ^Cplans, and trashed my car ^G But none of that is ever who we ^Dare ^{Dsus4 D G}Outside of my windows are the mountains and the snow I ^Chold you while you're sleeping and I ^Gwish that I could go ^DAll my rowdy friends are out a^Cccomplishing their dreams ^G But I am the mother of E^Dvangel^Gine

They've still ^Dgot their morning paper and their ^Ccoffee and their ^Gtime And they ^Dstill enjoy their evenings with the ^Cskeptics and the ^Gwine, oh But ^Emall the wonders I have seen, I will ^Csee a second ^Dsus9time From inside of the ages through your ^Deyes ^{Dsus4 D}
