(intro and verse riff): 



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 older, 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 

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) 

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 

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 
Cause I belong to the ground now 
                      A 
And it belongs to thee

And it belongs to thee 
                                G                       F#m 
And oh lord, won't you leave me, leave me just like this 
                                 G 
Cause I belong to the ground now 
                         
I want no more than this
