Artist: Brandi Carlile
[INTRO]
[C] [Dsus9] [C] [G]
[VERSE 1]
[G]Welcome to the end of being alone inside your mind
You're [C]tethered to another and you're [G]worried all the time
You [D]always knew the melody but you [C]never heard it rhyme [Dsus9] [C]
She is [G]fair and she is quiet, Lord, she doesn't look like me
She [C]made me love the morning, she's a [G]holiday at sea
The [D]New York streets are as busy as they [C]always used to be [G]
But I am the mother of E[D]vange[G]line
[VERSE 2]
[G]The first things that she took from me were selfishness and sleep
She [C]broke a thousand heirlooms I was [G]never meant to keep
She [D]filled my life with color, cancelled [C]plans, and trashed my car [G]
But none of that is ever who we [D]are [Dsus4] [D]
[G]Outside of my windows are the mountains and the snow
I [C]hold you while you're sleeping and I [G]wish that I could go
[D]All my rowdy friends are out a[C]ccomplishing their dreams [G]
But I am the mother of E[D]vangel[G]ine
[BRIDGE]
They've still [D]got their morning paper and their [C]coffee and their [G]time
And they [D]still enjoy their evenings with the [C]skeptics and the [G]wine, oh
But [Em]all the wonders I have seen, I will [C]see a second [Dsus9]time
From inside of the ages through your [D]eyes [Dsus4] [D]
[VERSE 3]
[G]You were not an accident where no one thought it through
The [C]world that stood agaisnt us made us [G]mean to fight for you
And [D]when we chose your name we knew you'd [C]fight the power too [Dsus9] [C]
You're [G]nothing short of magical and beautiful to me
I'll [C]never hit the bigtime without [G]you
So [D]they can keep their treasure and their [C]ties to [C/B]the mac[Am]hine [G]
Cause I am the mother of E[D]vange[Em]line
[C]They can keep their treasure and their ties to the machine [Dsus9] [C]
[G]Cause I am the mother of E[D]vange[G]line
[C]Ooh, [C/B]ooh, [Am]ooh, [D]ooh, [G]ooh
[C]Ooh, [C/B]ooh, [Am]ooh, [D]ooh, [G]ooh
[C]Ooh, [C/B]ooh, [Am]ooh, [D]ooh [G]
