Tom was born in Emaj71942
With eyes of blue
And the doctors said that his birth was far too Bfast
His Emaj7heart stopped twice
But yet he survived
As he took his first breathe
His mother took her lBastB B B B
And his Emaj7father knew that he wasn?t to blame
But he never quite looked at Tom the same after BthaBt B B B
And he Erarely spoke about her
But when he dFid
He said your mother used to say tBhisB B B B
When the Emaj7skies are looking bad my dear
And your heart has lost all it?s hope
After Emaj7dawn there will be sunshine
And all the dust will go
BSkies will clear my darling
I?ll wake up Bwith the one I love the most
And in the Emaj7morning, I?ll make you Fup
some tea and toasBt B B B B
When we Emaj7met through a friend
Who introduced them
The first thing Tom said was would you like to dBancBe? B B B
They Emaj7moved with each other and when the music got slower
He said don?t let go of my BhanBd B B B
He said It?s Emaj7only polite if I ask you tonight
Would it be alright, if I could walk you homBe? B B B B
That night he Emaj7told her of his birth
And said when it hurt
He Fthought about what his mother said about tea and toasBt B B B B
Emaj7Two quick years went by
They were side by Fside
And Emaj7without a plan, they conceived a little Fchild
He said Emaj7women I love you and this you know
But I Fonly have enough for our food and clothes
But I G#dimlove you and this baby
Until the day that I die
She said Emaj7we?ll take care of this little life
And we?ll Ffall in love with her baby blue eyes
And G#dimwe?ll be alright from some advice that I know
She said Emaj7I never got to meet her
But Fif I did, I?m sure your mother would have said thBis B B B B
When the Emaj7skies are looking bad my dear
And your heart has lost all it?s hope
After Emaj7dawn there will be sunshine
And all the dust will go
BSkies will clear my darling
We'll show thBis baby all the love we know
And in the Emaj7morning, I?ll make you Fup
some tea and toasBt B B B B
Well he Emaj7took those words and he made them proud
He worked Fday after day and hour after hour
So that G#dimthey could buy a little house on the outside of town
Emaj7The little girl grew up and so did they
They said Fthat they loved each other everyday
And G#dimforty years later, that brings us to now
And as they?re Emaj7walking down the street her grip loosens on his hand
He puts his Farm around her side as she falls to the ground
He hears her G#dimbreathing and that's the only sound
Her Emaj7body on the floor attracts a worried crowd
Tears Frolls off his face as he says ?don?t let go,G#dim now?
And he?s Emaj7sitting by her bed in the hospital
Their Fdaughter walks in with a family of herG#dim own
She says ?Emaj7dad, I don?t know if she can hear you now
but there?s Fone thing mum would want you toG#dim know?
When the Emaj7skies are looking bad my dear
And your heart has lost all it?s hope
After Emaj7dawn there will be sunshine
And all the dust will go
BSkies will clear my darling
Now it's tBime for you to let go
And in the Emaj7morning, I?ll make you Fup

Okay so I preformed this at a show and I think this is how the chords go :)
I think this is the first thingy I have done so please be kind :D
With the strumming pattern if you listen to the song you can like pick it up,
she changes it at different times so just do what feels good.
I play the A different to a normal one but a normal one sounds fine if you wanna use it :)
This is the A I play C#m B E This is the normal A
C#mShe said she hBated tourists
But she Awanted to travel the world.
C#mSaid the best thinBgs in life were free
And then Aworked all day to feed herself.
She said, C#myou never know wBhat you got until it's gone
And she comAplained about the rain like she'd never seen the sun.
She said C#mgood things come to tBhose who wait
And then sAhe waited four hours for a cancelled train.
She said:
EYou try and catch me
AI'll never stop running.
C#mWith a pound in my pocket and my Blife inside a Abag.
EYou try and catch me
AI know where I'm going
C#mI'll be half way round the world bBefore you even know I'm gAone
She said I'm moving on.
C#mBA
C#mShe fell in love with a Bbook once;
AFell in love with the page.
C#mShe fell in love with the aButhor
ADidn't remember his name.
She read your C#msoul weighs nothing but a lBump in your throat
AThe one's you see less are the one's you love most.
C#mSo she burnt that book and Bflew down to the cAoast.
She said:
EYou try and catch me
AI'll never stop running.
C#mWith a pound in my pocket and my lBife inside a bAag.
EYou try and catch me
AI know where I'm going
C#mI'll be half way round the world bBefore you even know I'm gAone
She said I'm moving on.
EC#mB
ESo she's sitting on a train with her bags at her feet
Stories entertain every pair of ears that she meets.
C#mShe's got gold in her sBoul.
EWhat she wants, nobody knows.
EShe's got two right feet and a bag full of clothes.
C#mShe's got gold in her sBoul.
EGoing nowhere slowly and that's what she needs
She's on the right track to where she'd rather be.
C#mShe's got gold in her sBo-oul.
EYou try and catch me
AI'll never stop running.
C#mWith a pound in my pocket and my Blife inside a bAag.
EYou try and catch me
