Mitosis chords by Isabel Pless

Key: C

🎸 Intro:

C



🎸 Verse 1:

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

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

Felt like breathing again



🎸 Chorus:

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



🎸 Verse 2:

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

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

Knowing someone has your back



🎸 Chorus:

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

🎸 Bridge:

           C                   G
Now I love brick and iron and copper
               Am             F
These building speak to me my truth
             C
They tell me that I'm smart

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



🎸 Chorus:

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