E
Let me paint you a picture
C#m7 C#m Amaj7
Its lonely and the ground has been withered away
A E
Away
[Verse 1]

He is sixteen

And locked out his car and he's waiting
C#m C# Amaj7
For someone to call him home
A E
Him home
E
And he sits there
C#m
And dreams of a world
C#m7 C#m
Where the air is clear
Amaj7
And there's freedom to roam away
E
Away
Emaj7
And his parents

Still love each other
C#m7
And music
C#m A Amaj7
Still finds its way back to him
E
To him
[Chorus]
E B C#m7
If I was the center of gravity
C#m A Amaj7
Why would you let it all fall from me?

If I was the balance to everything
Amaj7
How could you keep me from reasoning?
A

E
And the kids play
Till they fall on their asses

The dogs they
B A
Will run on right past us to the road again
E
There they go again

See your road, it whispers in vain
C#m B A Amaj7
Can't control thy love which you name as your own
A E
Your own
[Chorus]

If I was the center of gravity
E C#m B
Why would you let it all fall from me?
A
If I was the balance to everything
E C#m B
How could you keep me from reasoning?
