little boy, who loves you like the sea?

and cradle you and hold you
E B
like she does?
[Verse 2]
B
little boy, who holds you
when you sleep?

in lonely rooms with blood

[Chorus]
B
well mothers, they may come and go
like waves and tides, they ebb and flow,
F#
but that’s okay, ‘cause you have learned
to speak in tongues that aren’t your own
G#m
when the others gape and grin
at monster fangs and monster skin
you know your tongue will always win
you know your tongue will always win
[Verse 3]
B
you thought you found a
father on the sea
F#
what father here could teach you,
care for you, notice you
E B
like he does?
[Verse 4]
G#m
then another man who called
E
you his friend
G#m
made sure you’d never see him again
and as you sank
E F# G#m
you knew why they called you a stone
[Verse 5]
G#m
little boy who whispers when you dream?
G#m
what voices talk of giving you real power
C#m B F#
where you’ve never had control?

[Verse 6]
G#m
little boy, you know it’s
hard to breathe
G#m
the water here will drown you
running out of you like blood
C#m B F#
between your teeth
[Chorus]
G#m
well fathers, they may come and go
like waves and tides, they
ebb and flow
but that’s okay,
‘cause you have learned
to use a power that’s not your own
E
when your dealer’s cashing in
uncertainty beneath your skin
you pray that it will never win
you pray that it will never win
[Interlude]
B F# E B F# B F# E B
[Verse 7]
B
little boy, who loves you
like the sea?
F#
what mother here would wait for you,
E B
call to you, love you like she does?
[Chorus]
B
well mothers, they may come and go
like waves and tides, they ebb and flow
F#
but now you’ve found a mother
who’s convinced you that
you’ve found a home
E
when your will is wearing thin
you feel the ocean deep within
and know that she will always win
B
you know that she will always win
