C Em D
Sister I remember
G C
Mother kept happy when she could
C Em D
Weather in December
G C
Never felt as warm as it should
C Em D
You were like a feather
G C
Never land where we thought you would
C Em D
Or anywhere close to it
G C
Who would have thought you never would
C Em D
So tell me what happens
C G D
When the waves break
Em Bm C G D
And you're surrounded
Am Em C G D
He tries to kill you
Em G C G D
And you allow it
Sister I remember
The morning light on evergreen
What seemed like forever
Was just my mind escaping me
Imitation leather
The smell of blood left on the seat
Was that your way of proving
We look the same from underneath
So tell me what happens
When the waves break
And you’re surrounded
He tries to kill you
And you allow it
And you allow it
Over and over he says
I surround you
I surround you
I never leave my beloved
I’ve found you
I surround you
I surround you, I
I never leave my beloved
I’ve found you
