Intro G Bm G Bm
G
A black and white photograph
Bm
of me up the garden path
G
wrapped up in my football scarf
Bm
it sits here in my hand
G
and there mother smothered me
Bm
and how she would mother me
G
she knew how to suffer me
Bm
like all mothers can
F C
Now she is everywhere
Am G#
the comb that runs through my hair
Eb Cm
my posture on a chair
G
but that's not who I am
G Bm G Bm
G
He ran from the arguments
Bm
and sat on the garden fence
G
and lived in the passing tense
Bm
that fell from her lips
G
he tended the house so well
Bm
and each time she rang his bell
G
he'd climb back from where he fell
Bm
and gathered his wits
F C
Now I fear the mold is mine
Am G#
a vibration shakes my spine
Eb Cm
as I walk the crooked line
G
reality hits
CHORUS
E G C A
So let me walk free from you
E G C A
I know that you want me to
E G C A
let me try something new
Bb
let me walk away
Bb
If it's not one thing it's your mother
F C
how I love her how I love her
C
how I love her
Bb
but it's not so easy to say
F
please won't you let me walk away
C A
let me walk away let me walk away
INSTRUMENTAL
A C#m Em Bm A C#m Em Bm
A
So let me walk on my own
C#m
and finish my ice cream cone
Em
if we are to make it home
Bm
then all will be well
A
look see I'm a father now
C#m
I'm raising my own eyebrow
Em
and being in my own row
Bm
and making life hell
F C
This is me see here I am
Am G#
doing the best that I can
Eb Cm
this life has a subtle plan
G
but you couldn't tell
REPEAT CHORUS

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official SQUEEZE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
