🎸 Verse 1:

  C majorC
The first time I came home from school
              FF
I walked right through the door
      C majorC
Wrapped my arms around my mother

Dropped my bags on the floor
   C majorC         G+G
That night I heard the train
    C majorC     FF
All the way in Richmond
  C majorC
And God, just being home

Felt like breathing again

🎸 Chorus:

C majorC G+G   FF     C majorC
  I'm splitting in half
  FF    G+G
A augmentedA mitosis of sorts
    FF     C majorC
Once I shed this skin
    FF    G+G
I won't hurt anymore
    FF     A minorAm
I never let myself in
    C majorC     A minorAm
On the truth before
    FF        A minorAm
There's two of me at last
FF
One to move on
    A minorAm     C majorC
One to stay in the past

🎸 Verse 2:

    C majorC          G+G
Well, I moved back down to Boston
      C majorC       FF
And met the people that I love
        C majorC
They taught me how to drop my guard down

And showed me that I am enough
 C majorC        G+G
I see them as the sisters
C majorC       FF
That I never had
     C majorC
It's the sweetest feeling ever

Knowing someone has your back

Once I shed this skin
    FF    G+G
I won't hurt anymore
    FF     A minorAm
I never let myself in
    C majorC     A minorAm
On the truth before
    FF        A minorAm
There's two of me at last
FF
One to move on
    A minorAm     C majorC
One to stay in the past

Now I love brick and iron and copper
        A minorAm       FF
These building speak to me my truth
       C majorC
They tell me that I'm smart

And there's a spot
  A minorAm
For me in every room
  C majorC
And here I am still growing
       FF
But like the person I can see
      A minorAm     C majorC
And that's all I ever wanted
  A minorAm G+G
For me
