[Verse]
A G F
Oh lord, won't you leave me, leave me on my knees
G
Cause I belong to the ground now
A
And it belongs to thee
G F
And oh lord, won't you leave me, leave me just like this
G
Cause I belong to the ground now
A
I want no more than this
G F
How I long for the autumn, the sun keeps burning deep
G A
Every stone in this city keeps reminding me, oh!
G F
Can you protect me from what I want?
G
The love I let in, it left me so lost
[Chorus]
A G
Mother, make me
F Dm
Make me a big tall tree
A G F Dm
So I can shed my leaves and let it blow through me
A G
Mother, make me
F Dm
Make me a big grey cloud
A G F G A
So I can rain on you things I can't say out loud
G F G (intro riff)
[Verse]
A G F
All these couples are kissing and I can't stand the heat
G
I lost my shoes and left the party
A
I wander in the street
G F
I put my feet into the fountain, the statues all asleep
G
No use wishing on the water
It grants you no relief
[Chorus]
A G
Mother, make me
F Dm
Make me a bird of prey
A G F Dm
So I can rise above this, let it fall away
A G
Mother, make me
F Dm
Make me a song so sweet
A G F A
Heaven trembles, fallen at our feet
G F G
