Leaving This Life chords

DADGAD
Capo II

D: 000200
G: 550400
A: 002200
Bm: 024000

(D)I am six years old in the back of my mother's car
And (G)I will be seven in December
(D)She will be gone by the beginning of next spring
And (G)I will be left to remember
To re(D)member

(D)I ask my little questions
She laughs a little laugh
But (G)she won't tell me where we're going
She (D)looks in my eyes with her eyes in the mirror
And says (G)some things you're better off not knowing
Not (D)knowing

But (A)I don't know what her (G)voice sounds like
(A)I don't know what her (G)skin feels like
I (A)only know what it (G)might feel like
When a (Bm)mother holds her (A)daughter

    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    



When that (Bm)mother knows she's (A)leaving this (G)life
Leaving this (D)life

(D)She's left with that reflection of me at six years old
And (G)I have her eyes in the mirror
Well (D)she and I, we are defined by what we have lost
(G)Don't you wonder whose loss is dearer
(D)Dearer

(A)She doesn't know what my (G)voice sounds like
(A)She doesn't know what my (G)skin feels like
And (A)I only know what it (G)might feel like
When a (Bm)mother holds her (A)daughter
When that (Bm)mother knows she's (A)leaving this (G)life
Leaving this (D)life (G)(D)(G)

And (A)I don't know what her (G)voice sounds like
And (A)I don't know what her (G)skin feels like
I (A)only know what it (G)might feel like
When a (Bm)mother holds her (A)daughter
When that (Bm)mother knows she's (A)leaving this (G)life
Leaving this (D)life
Leaving this (G)life
Leaving this (D)life
Leaving this (G)life (D)
