In Wonder

E5
Mother, Father: I'm standing
E5
Standing and I'm not about to fall
E5
When I can speak I'll tell you not to worry
E5
Or be sorry for anything,

'cause no one understands this world at all

[Verse 1]

My father swept me over his shoulders
Gsus4                G                E5
Above the empty cars to see the fair
       E5                     G                  Bbdim
A slowly spinning wheel of smiling neighbors,
        E7              Asus2 Gsus4
and flowers from my     mo  -   ther
        Bm7             Asus2              D9/A
Who sang to me that night of love and death,
        Asus2         Gsus4             Em7
'cause everybody sings of love and death.

[Verse 2]
        Em
We dreamt our sons and daughters a high wire
Em
Connecting the four corners of the earth
Em                                      E             Em
The wire disappeared and left them standing on nothing;
    F     Bbdim
in thin air
        F                        Em7             Cmaj7
They're standing and they're not about to fall;
   F                    Em7            Em
standing and they're not about to fall

Child you'll grow up
A             C                       F
In wonder, like we'll grow old
A                    C                       F
F
Like our parents did, and their parents before
A                                    C
It was written on the faces in the waiting room

    F
the day you were born

It was written on the faces in the waiting room

the day they, we, and you were born
                      F
The day you were born
