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
