Generations In The Making chords by Abby Powledge

• Difficulty: Beginner

Key: B

Intro:

D   F#m  G   D  A


Verse 1:
    D
Thought I'd become a better bolder version of myself
  F#m
The second that I started packing bags for Nashville
   G
But I hope I never change, oh I'm still a little girl
      D
With messy curls, messy curls
D

Thought moving out would drown it out if I had some distance
     F#m
From the weight of it all
F#m
The doubt and always feeling unwanted
   G
But I hope I never change, oh I'll keep shutting it out
    D
Remind myself, remind myself


Chorus:
D                   F#m7
That I'm a reincarnate of my mother's beauty
               G
And every other woman come before me
                   A
If my parents and grandparents were adored
                 D
Then somebody has loved my face before


Verse 2:
  D
I'm more than teenage boys and all the noise I let them have
     F#m7
I'm less spoken than my mom's side, but I'm louder than my dad's
   Gmaj7
I'm a product of it all; oh it's all ancestral
    D    A
As I recall, I recall


Chorus:
D                   F#m7
That I'm a reincarnate of my mother's beauty
               Gmaj7
And every other woman come before me
                   A
If my parents and grandparents were adored
                 D
Then somebody has loved my face before
                  F#m7
I'll trace my imperfections in the mirror
                   Gmaj7
Forgetting this whole reason why I'm here
                     A
And if all my features took centuries of shaping
               D
Then I was generations in the making


Post-chorus:
             F#m7
I was generations in the making
                 Gmaj7
All my features took centuries of shaping
             A
I was generations in the making


Bridge:
 D
I have my fathers eyes and my grandmothers curls
  F#m7
My mother looked just like me when she was a teenage girl
    Gmaj7
And I'm sure that I'll love someday, 'cause it's somehow guaranteed
   A
As my predecessors found their paths in love before me


Chorus:
D                 F#m7
I'm a reincarnate of my mother's beauty
               Gmaj7
And every other woman come before me
                   A
If my parents and grandparents were adored
                 D
Then somebody has loved my face before
                  F#m7
I'm living proof of other people's lives
           Gmaj7
I am every lover amplified
                      A
And if all my features took generations of shaping
               D
Then I was generations in the making


Outro:
             F#m7
I was generations in the making
                 Gmaj7
All my features took centuries of shaping
             A    D
I was generations in the making
