Am, C, G

Am,              C
Well I, own this field
Am,              C
And I wrote this sky
Am,              C,                 G
And I have no reason, to reason with you

Am,                                    C                    G
I'd be sad that I never held your hand as you were lowered, but I'd understand that I'd 
let it go
Am,                                    C                    G
I'd be sad that I never held your hand as you were lowered, but I'd understand that the 
eyes sort of does

Am,               C                G
And you never did learn to let the little things go
Am,               C                G
And you never did learn to let me be
Am,               C            G
And you never did learn to let little people grow
Am,               C            G
And you never did learn how to see

Am,                                 C                           G
But I whisper that I love this man, now and for forever to your soul as it floats out 
the window
Am,                     C              G
To the world that you turned your back on,
Am,                     C              G
To the world that never really let you be,

Am,                  C
And I am Laura now, and Laura still,
G
And you did always say that one day I would suffer.
Am,                     C                G
You did always say that people get their pain.
Am,                     C                G
You did always say that I was going places,
Am,                     C                G
And that you wouldn't have it any other way.

Am,                                     C                        G
But I couldn't turn my back on a world, for what I like wouldn't let me
Am,                                     C                        G
But I couldn't turn my back on a world, for what I like wouldn't let me
Am,                                     C                        G
But I couldn't turn my back on a world, for what I like wouldn't let me
Am,                            C                         G    
 end: C, G
And I couldn't turn my back on sweet smelling Blackberry stone
