Em        Am    D               Em 
My mother said “I gained a friend 
Em     Am   D               Em 
At the end of the heart to heart.” 
Em        Am      D            Em 
My mother asked, “Will you be fine 
Em      Am          D            Em  C Em Bm C 
With the choices you make in your life?” 


C                G 
And you pick me up, 
C                   G 
And you hold me close, 
C                 G 
And you show the way, 
Am              G 
And you let me go. 


Em        Am    D            Em 
My father said, “Use your head, 
Em            Am    D               Em 
The guys upstairs, they just don’t care.” 
Em          Am    D             Em 
My father asked, “Will you be safe 
Em      Am          D       Em  C Em Bm C 
When you are always so far away?” 


C                G 
And you pick me up, 
C                   G 
And you hold me close, 
C                 G 
And you show the way, 
Am              G 
And you let me go. 


C         G               C 
I let the light into my life, 
C         G              C 
Close my eyes before I die. 
C               G 
And you let me go, 
C        Am      G 
And you sent me off – 


C         Em   D 
Into the sky, 
D           Am                   Em 
Always believe in me, always beside me. 
Em              D               C 
I’ve come this far and I'll be going 
G                C 
Farther than the stars. 


C                G 
And you pick me up, 
C                   G 
And you hold me close, 
C                 G 
And you take my hand, 
C                 G 
And you watch me grow, 
C                  G 
And you show the way, 
C               G 
And you let me go. 


C         G               C 
I let the light into my life, 
C         G              C 
Close my eyes before I die. 
C               G 
And you let me go.
