Intro

A black and white photograph

of me up the garden path

wrapped up in my football scarf

it sits here in my hand

and there mother smothered me

and how she would mother me

she knew how to suffer me

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

but that's not who I am

G Bm G Bm

He ran from the arguments

and sat on the garden fence

and lived in the passing tense

that fell from her lips

he tended the house so well

and each time she rang his bell

he'd climb back from where he fell

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

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

let me walk away

If it's not one thing it's your mother

F C

how I love her how I love her

how I love her

but it's not so easy to say

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

So let me walk on my own

C#m

and finish my ice cream cone

if we are to make it home

then all will be well

C#m

I'm raising my own eyebrow

and being in my own row

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

but you couldn't tell

REPEAT CHORUS
