  Why let your shoulders bend

Back is sturdy   and strong

(Speak to me)   Why are you building 
     Am           F7   C 
This thick, brick wall   to defend me?

   My greatest fear

  Why let your shoulders bend

Back is sturdy   and strong

   Speak to me... 

Am       F7  C  
(ee) Let me,   have a look 
   Am         F7   C 
In-side these eyes   while I’m learning 
Am      F7  C    
   (Let me)   Please don’t hide them 
Am         F7       C 
   Just be-cause of tears 

Am     F7           C  
   Let me, send you off to sleep with a 
Am           F7             C 
There, there now, stop your turning and tossing. 
Am      F7  C         
   (Let me)   Let me know where 
    Am          F7     C 
The hurt is and how to heal 

BRIDGE 
G        Am 
  Spare, spare me

Don’t spare me of... anything

   Trouble me,   disturb me

With all your cares   and your worries 
Am          F7  C 
   Speak to me,   and let our words build a 
Am         F7       C 
   Shelter from the storm 
Am     F7  C 
   Let me,   and lastly let me 
Am        F7    C 
Know what I can mend 

F              C 
  There’s more honestly 
     Dm               G    
Than my sweet friend, you can see 
F        G        C     Am 
Trust is what I’m offer-ing  
F           G       C 
  If you’ll trouble me...
