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 
Fim: C, G 
And I couldn't turn my back on sweet smelling Blackberry stone
