1. You, you, who smiles when you're in pain,

                     C                                  G

    you, who soldiers through the profane,

                           C                        G         - C

    they were distracted and shut down.

 

           G                             C                  G

2. So why, why would you talk to me at all ?

                                       C                         G

    Such words were dishonorable and in vain,

                                C             G

    their promise as solid as a fog.

                C

    And where was your watchman then ?

 

G                                    C

    I'll be your keeper for life as your guardian,

G                                    C

    I'll be your warrior of care, your first warden.

G                                  C

    I'll be your angel on call, I'll be on demand,

G                                    C

    the greatest honor of all, as your guardian.

 

      G                        C                   G

3. You, you in the chaos feigning sane

                            C                                      G

    you, who has pushed beyond what's humane,

                            C                    G

    same as the ghostly tumbleweed.

                C

    And where was your watchman then ?

4. Now no more smiling mid crestfall,

                            C                          G

    no more managing unmanageables,

                                 C                    G

    no more holding still in the hailstorm.

              C                                      - C ~

    Now enter your watchwoman !

 

G                                    C

    I'll be your keeper for life as your guardian,

G                                    C

    I'll be your warrior of care, your first warden.

G                                  C

    I'll be your angel on call, I'll be on demand,

G                                    C

    the greatest honor of all, as your guardian.
