Grieving Ukulele chords by Audrey Waugh

• Difficulty: Intermediate

Key: Am

Am C D F Am E7 Am

Verse 1:
Am      C
Climbing the stairs
  D        F
Is harder than I remember
Am        E7     Am
Step by step the pain sinks in




Am      C
Sometimes it feels
   D         F
Like I don’t own my own body
Am    E7     Am
Why do I try if I’m not in control

Prechorus 1:
Am         C
Looking forward to when
   D        F
I can be that person again
  Am
But nothing will change
E7          Am
Since that version of me is dead

Chorus:
Am           C
I’m still grieving the loss of myself
   D      F
Does anyone truly understand how to help
Am          C
I’m still dreaming of better days
      D            F
But there’s no use in trying if the damage will stay
   Am        C       D           F
(4/4) Everyone tells me it’ll get easy if I just give it some time
     Am           E7
(5/4) But deep down you know that that isn’t so
Am
Just let her go

Verse 2:
Am    C
I used to dance
D        F
It defined my existence
Am    E7       Am
Who am I if I lose that part of myself

Am      C
When I was a child
 D       F
Impossible meant nothing
  Am     E7      Am
And day by day that became a lie

Prechorus 2:
   Am         C
I’ve tried to fix it for years
    D            F
All the blood, sweat, money, and tears
  Am
But nothing will change
E7          Am
Time and time again I try and fail

Chorus:
Am           C
I’m still grieving the loss of myself
   D      F
Does anyone truly understand how to help
Am          C
I’m still dreaming of better days
      D            F
But there’s no use in trying if the damage will stay
   Am        C       D           F
(4/4) Everyone tells me it’ll get easy if I just give it some time
     Am           E7
(5/4) But deep down you know that that isn’t so
Am
Just let her go
