Embrace Me, You Child

[G]At night in bed
I heard God whisper lull[D]abyes   [G]
[Gmaj7]While Daddy next door
Whistled whiskey tu[A]nes
And some[G]times when I wanted
They would harm[D]onize   [G]
[G7]There was nothing those two couldn't do [C]

Embr[D]ace me you chi[G]ld
You're a chi[C]ld of mine
And I'm leav[D]ing everything I [C]am to yo[G]u
[D]Go chase the wi[G]ld and nigh[C]t time streets sang "Daddy"
And G[D]od sang "P[C]ray the de[Bb]vil doesn't get to y[G]ou"

[G]I thought together they m[F]ust sing the moon a[D]way   [G]
[Gmaj7]I thought that they must know each other[A] well
[G]For the magic that they m[F]ade
When they p[D]layed   [G]
[G7]Wasn't lost between their Heaven and the[C]ir Hell

Embr[D]ace me you chi[G]ld
You're a chi[C]ld of mine
And I'm leav[D]ing everything I [C]am to yo[G]u
[D]Go chase the wi[G]ld and nigh[C]t time streets sang "Daddy"
And G[D]od sang "P[C]ray the de[Bb]vil doesn't get to y[G]ou"

[G]Then one night Daddy died
And went to Hea[D]ven
[Gmaj7]And God came down to earth
And slipped aw[A]ay
[G]I pretended not to know
I'd been aban[D]doned  [G]
[G7]But no one sang the night into the day [C]
[G]And later night time son[F]gs came ba[D]ck ag[G]ain
But the sin[Gmaj7]gers don't compare
With those I kn[A]ew
[G]And I never figured out
Where [F]God and Da[G]ddy went
[G7]But there was nothing those two couldn't do[C]

Embr[D]ace me you chi[G]ld
You're a chi[C]ld of mine
And I'm leav[D]ing everything I [C]am to yo[G]u
[D]Go chase the wi[G]ld and nigh[C]t time streets sang "Daddy"
And G[D]od sang "P[C]ray the de[Bb]vil doesn't get to y[G]ou"
