Chords with lyrics
Intro: G+G C majorC
G+G
The sparrows tend to fall asleep
C majorC
The wind doesn't speak to me no more
G+G
The water that becomes the sea
C majorC
It holds me until I can't breathe at all
G+G
I dream of things I've never seen
C majorC
The sunlight doesn't wait for me now
G+G
My demons, they walk with me
C majorC
They tell me that I let you down
G+G
You were just a heartbeat, yet to come alive
Just two feet, yet to stand upright
C majorC
Was just three times we cried that night
A minorAm
'Cause it was four months until you arrived
G+G
And though I'll never be able to describe
How you were born with your mother's eyes
C majorC
And how your hands felt when they met mine
A minorAm
And how Luke thinks we look alike
G+G
If I'm wed, I'd tell her she's beautiful
C majorC
And that I think she should smile more
You'd never know, but she misses you
A minorAm
More than anyone she's known
G+G
And though I'll never
Get to recognize your voice
C majorC
On the other line when you've grown
A minorAm
And made me proud to call you mine
G+G C majorC
I still know you, I still know you
G+G
You were just a heartbeat, yet to come alive
Just two feet, yet to stand upright
C majorC
Was just three times we cried that night
A minorAm
'Cause it was four months until you arrived
G+G
And though I'll never be able to describe
How you were born with your mother's eyes
C majorC
And how your hands felt when they met mine
A minorAm
And how Luke thinks we look alike
G+G
I'll keep you safe inside my mind
As I try to say goodbye
C majorC
There was more than one heart
That stopped that night
A minorAm
If I'm honest
G+G
I'll keep you safe inside my mind
As I try to say goodbye
C majorC
There was more than one heart
That stopped that night
If I'm honest
G+G
You were just a heartbeat, yet to come alive
Just two feet, yet to stand upright
C majorC
Was just three times we cried that night
A minorAm
'Cause it was four months until you arrived
G+G
And though I'll never be able to describe
How you were born with your mother's eyes
C majorC
And how your hands felt when they met mine
A minorAm
And how Luke thinks we look alike
G+G
I'll keep you safe inside my mind
As I try to say goodbye
C majorC
There was more than one heart
That stopped that night
A minorAm G+G
