Am
[Verse 1]
N.C. G
I will not allow us,
DC
To rot, wither, foul, or to fade,
G
On account of your dream,
DC
That a baby would be likely made.
[Verse 2]
G
I'll father all this weight,
D
I'll take a pound or two,
C
Than lay it on a son,
C
To light another fuse,
G
I will not allow him,
DC
To rot, wither, foul, or to fade.
[Pre-Chorus]
G
All the thoughts,
DC
Bedding down for the night.
[Chorus]
C
Help me out,
EmD
I would love for you to,
C
Every night,
EmD
It was black or was blue,
C
Make haste leaving,
EmDG
Make haste, leave or go,
DC
On and on……
GDG
Tell me why do you try hanging on?
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
GD
I had bought into the thought,
C
Of a wish, plan, and state,
G
On account of your dream that,
DC
Our meeting could be more than fate.
[Verse 4]
G
I'll father all this weight,
D
I'll take a pound or two,

Than lay it on a son,

To light another fuse,

To rot, wither, foul, or to fade.
