(repeat verse 1 chords)
He showed up all wet on the rainy front step
wearing shrapnel in his skin.
And the war he saw lives inside him still.
It's so hard to be gentle and warm.
The years pass by and now he has granddaughters
[Chorus]
[Bridge]

Oh, so you look at me from across the room. You're
wearing your anguish again. Believe
me, I know the feeling; it
sucks you into the jaws of anger.
Oh, so breathe a little more deeply, my love. All we
have is this very moment
and I don't want to do what his father and his father and
his father did. I want to be here now.
