E             Am       E           Am
Stuck in your confines, chewing it over.
E              Am        G      F
Caught in your headlights, stop staring
E                Am         E         Am
Don't know what's on my mind, what am I thinking.
E            Am        G         F
Whatever I say is a lie, so stop staring
F
Tread Carefully, 

C                            Am              Em
Take a breath and count the stars, let the world 
go round without you.
                            F
If you're somewhere you can hear this song, sing along, 
C                            Am                        Em
Close your eyes and count to ten, maybe loves the only answer 
                     F                            C
I will find a way to sing your song, so sing along.

E       Am   E          Am
Help me understand, the silence.
E           Am      G       F
We make the best we can, of everything.
E          Am      E           Am
Nothing is what it was turning the light off
E       Am      G       F
honesty changes us completely, tread carefully.


C                           Am                  Em
Take a breath and count the stars, let the world 
go round without you.
                            F
If you're somewhere you can hear my song, sing along, 
C                            Am                        Em
Close your eyes and count to ten, maybe loves the only answer 
                     F
I will find a way to sing your song, so sing along.
C                    Am                              Em
What is lost cant be replaced, what is gone is not forgotten.
                        F              C        Am
I wish you were here to sing along, my son.

   Em     F
My Son, 
   C      Am
My Son,
   Em  F  C
My Son.
