G
Welcome to the end of being alone inside your mind
       C                              G
You're tethered to another and you're worried all the time
    D                              C     Cmaj7      Am   Dadd11/A  C
You always knew the melody but you never heard it rhyme
       G
She is fair and she is quiet, Lord, she doesn't look like me
    C                                 G
She made me love the morning, she's a holiday at sea
    D                                    C      Cmaj7    Am  G
The New York streets are as busy as they always used to be
                        D    G
But I am the mother of Evangeline


G
The first things that she took from me were selfishness and sleep
    C                                G
She broke a thousand heirlooms I was never meant to keep
    D                                    C         Cmaj7         Am  G
She filled my life with color, cancelled plans, and trashed my car
                                D   Dadd11/A  D
But none of that is ever who we are
G
Outside of my windows are the mountains and the snow
  C                                    G
I hold you while you're sleeping and I wish that I could go
D                             C      Cmaj7          Am   G
All my rowdy friends are out accomplishing their dreams
                        D     G
But I am the mother of Evangeline
 
[Bridge]
              D                                 C                G
They've still got their morning paper and their coffee and their time
         D                                   C                G
And they still enjoy their evenings with the skeptics and the wine, oh
    B7                                  C  Cmaj7        Am
But all the wonders I have seen, I will see a second time
      G                               D    Dadd11/A  D
From inside of the ages through your eyes
 

G
You were not an accident where no one thought it through
    C                                   G
The world that stood against us made us mean to fight for you
    D                                       C       Cmaj7  Am  Dadd11/A  C
And when we chose your name we knew you'd fight the power too
       G
You're nothing short of magical and beautiful to me
     C                             G
I'll never hit the bigtime without you
   D                                      C       Cmaj7   Am   G
So they can keep their treasure and their ties to the machine
                          D    Em
Cause I am the mother of Evangeline
C                               C       Cmaj7   Am           Dadd11/A  C
They can keep their treasure and their ties to the machine
G                         D    G
Cause I am the mother of Evangeline
C    Cmaj7 Am   G
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
C    Cmaj7 Am   G
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
C    Cmaj7 Am   G
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
C    Cmaj7 Am   G
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
