C          Em  D       
Sister I remember 

G                   C       
Mother kept happy when she could 

C            Em  D 
Weather in December 

G                    C 
Never felt as warm as it should 

C            Em  D 
You were like a feather 

G                    C 
Never land where we thought you would 

C            Em  D 
Or anywhere close to it 

G                    C 
Who would have thought you never would 




C  Em             D       
So tell me what happens 

                  C   G   D 
When the waves break 

Em                      Bm   C  G  D  
And you're surrounded 

Am           Em      C  G  D 
He tries to kill you 

Em             G  C  G  D 
And you allow it 


Sister I remember 
The morning light on evergreen 
What seemed like forever 
Was just my mind escaping me 
Imitation leather 
The smell of blood left on the seat 
Was that your way of proving 
We look the same from underneath 


So tell me what happens 
When the waves break 
And you’re surrounded 
He tries to kill you 
And you allow it 
And you allow it 

Over and over he says 
I surround you 
I surround you 
I never leave my beloved 
I’ve found you 

I surround you 
I surround you, I 
I never leave my beloved 
I’ve found you
