don’t take the child  

Am E G D

don’t take the child away from this place

can’t you see the look on his tear-streaked face

don’t take him away, today

no friends, you left me stranded

no relatives, I feel

so abandoned

not her, she doesn’t want me here

oh no, she’ll do it again I fear

not her, not here

      CHORUS

      Bm Am E G D

      just let me out

      leave me alone

      just set me free

      this place is not my home

you don’t take the time

to see what’s going on

i’ve lived, with anger for too long

this town has taken a toll on me

this state is flat as far as the eye can see

its not me

it’s time, I think it’s time for me to go

it’s been divine, but I feel like its time

to go home

CHORUS

REPEAT VERSE 1
