Key:Bb
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
G A Bm
[Verse 1]
G A Bm
A mother's love is like the rain
G A Bm G
It's s'posed to clean you up and take away your pain
A Asus4 A
It's s'posed to hold you when the night is all but still
G A Bm
So if your mother will not sing to you I will
[Verse 2]
G A Bm
Daddy's hands are like a brick
G A Bm G
Strong enough to rip the thorns out of the thick
A Asus4 A
It's s'posed to carry you when the crowds are all but still
G A D
So if your daddy won't protect you I will
[Chorus]
Asus4 A D Bm
I will, I will
G Asus4
I will love you in their absence
[Verse 3]
G A Bm
A brother's words are like the wind
G A Bm
They can lift you past the rim
G A Asus4 A
They can push you to the apex of the hill
G A Bm
But if your brother will not stand for you I will
G A Bm
A sister's heart is warm and bright
G A Bm
It makes you wonder if you've ever seen the night
G A Asus4 A
It shouldn't burn your skin when it touches you but still
G A D
If your sister will not comfort you I will
Asus4 A G Bm
I will, I will
G A
I will love you in their absence
G A Bm
A lover's kiss is like a rose
G A Bm
It makes you shiver when it slips beneath your nose
G A Asus4 A
But I am waiting to redeem the heart they steal
G A D
And when your lover runs away from you I will
G A Bm
You shouldn't tear your skin like that
G A Bm
You shouldn't paint your eyes so black
G A Asus4 A
This isn't something that an opiate can kill
G A D
And when nobody comes to claim your life I will
[Chorus]
Asus4 A D Bm
I will, I will
G A D
I will love you in the absence of love
