Tuned 1/2 step down (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb). All chords and tabs relative to tuning.

VERSE 1:
                          
Well, I promise there's no truth 
                                        
in that lovely, wooden home you spent your youth.
                       
I promise that I won't leave
                                 
before you dress my arms back up in sleeves, Mama, oh Mama.

BRIDGE:
                  
Where's the trust in running?
                                
Baby cool your head, I'm coming.

CHORUS:
  

VERSE 2:
                   
I've hunted down my past, 
                                   
held it close to the earth. I made it last.
                             
But now solace still keeps my head, 
                                              
just knowing all that's said, and done is simply dead, Father, oh Father.

BRIDGE:
                       
My thoughts they all come drumming.
                     
Telling me to just keep humming, Mama, oh Mama.
                  
Where's the trust in running?
                                End on: 
Baby cool your head, I'm coming.
