Detours

[G]   [F]   [C]

Mot[G]her can you hold me together
It's so da[F]rk and I'm los[C]ing my wa[G]y
It [G]took all of these detours to find love
But when I[F] did it just f[C]aded away[G]

Now [D]what do I d[G]o with this sw[C]eet love of mi[G]ne
Do I[D] give it aw[G]ay, and hope s[F]omeday I'll fi[C]nd
Some[G]one half as[C] awake as the [G]moon and the s[C]tars
Mother te[F]ach me to lo[C]ve
With a paper thin hea[G]rt

Same chords until the end

Enjoy!!

Mother your words are so healing
You speak of love, and of light, and of peace
But I've made it my course to avoid you
Just to hide from these feelings of grief

Now what do I do with this sweet love of mine
Do I give it away, and hope someday I'll find
Someone half as awake as the moon and the stars
Mother teach me to love
With a paper thin heart

Now what do I do with this sweet love of mine
Do I give it away, and hope someday I'll find
Someone half as awake as the moon and the stars
Mother teach me to love
With a paper thin heart

Mother, I know you are with me
You were there when I took my first breath
I can't stop looking back for the answers
I just keep coming up with regret
There are some things I just can't forget
