[Intro]
---------------------
A#m7 | Em11/A | A#m7 | G# 

[Verse 1]
---------------------
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#        G#/C
You always knew the melody but you never heard it rhyme
A#m7 Em11/A A#m7     G#
              She's 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#       G#/C
The New York streets are as busy as they always used   to be
A#m7 G#                          D#
     But I am the mother of Evangeline

[Verse 2]
---------------------
G#   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#          G#/C     A#m7 G#
She filled my life with color, canceled plans, and trashed   my car
                                    D#
But none of that was 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#      G#/C
All my rowdy friends are out accomplishing their dreams
A#m7 G#                          D#
     But I am the mother of Evangeline

[Bridge]
---------------------
G#                 D#                                   C#                G#
 And 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
           C7                                C#      G#/C
Oh, but all  the wonders I have seen, I will see a second time
A#m7    G#                                  D#
   From inside of the ages through your eyes

[Verse 3]
---------------------
G#
You are not an accident where no one thought it through
    C#                                      G#
The world has stood against us, made us mean to fight for you
    D#                                         C#        G#/C  A#m7 Em11/A
And when we chose your name we knew that you'd fight the power too
A#m7      G#
   You're nothing short of magical and beautiful to me
         C#
Oh, I'll never hit the big time without you
G#  D#                                         C#      G#/C
 So they can keep their treasure and their ties to the machine
A#m7 G#                             D#    Fm
     'Cause I am the mother of Evangeline

[Outro]
---------------------
C#                      G#/C               A#m7             Em11/A
They can keep their treasure and their ties   to the machine
G#                             D#
 'Cause I am the mother of Evangeline
G# C#  G#/C A#m7 G# C# G#/C A#m7 G#
  Ooh,          ooh
C# G#/C A#m7 G#
Ooh
