Guitar chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
Db             Bbm
Do you remember running?
Fm               Bbm
the purity of the air around
Db                            Ab
braiding willow branches into a crown
Db                 Ebm7
that love is all I want
Db          Ebm7
I’m a child humming
Db                 Ebm7
into the clarity of black space
Db                             Ebm7
where stars shine like tears on the night’s face
Db                Ebm7
with a cool wind
Bridge:
Bbm7
mama, what happened?
Db             Bbm
I never thought we’d Go this long
Gb          Db          Bbm
now 31 and I don’t feel strong
Gb          Db         Gbm7
and your love is all I want

Verse 2:
Gb7        Gbm7
when I was seven,
Gb7        Gbm7           Ebm7
I saw the first film that made me scared
Db                                Bbm
and I thought of this whole world ending
Db                  Gb
I thought of dying unprepared
Ebm7             Db
we moved into a real house
Gb
a wild field behind it
Db
I wanted to be an inventor
Db
collected scraps to make a portal
Ebm
I wanted so much for magic to be real
Gbmaj7             Db
so many dreams of flying
Gb                 Db
rising high over the crowd
Gbmaj7                  Db            Ebm7
and they’d Go “oh man, look at her go!”
Bbmaj7     Db    Gbmaj7    Db    Gbmaj7
and I’d go

Verse 3:
Db                                                Ebm7
Do you remember coming to the hospital when I was
fourteen?
Gb
my friends all left me there spinning
Gb                        Ebm7
dad was angry, but you saw everything
Gb                             Db            Bbm7
and you made me laugh as the nurses undressed me
Db         Db/F                  Ebm7          Bbm7    Gb
you held my hand as they put the needle in me

Gb               Db
I never saw you cry
Db                        Bbm7
not until our dog died
Db
and the whole family came back together
Gb                     Db                  Bbm7    Gb7
we held her body as they put the needle in her
Gb               Bbmaj7
and then I saw you cry
Db                    Bbmaj7
and then I saw you cry
