Tall Enough chords by Kendall Nicole

• Difficulty: Intermediate 💪

Key: Bb

♫ Intro:

Bb Eb

♫ Verse 1:
Eb
It's been ten years since I saw my face
Bb
Now all I see is the back of her head
Eb
As she stands on the tips of her toes
Bb
She's not even tall enough to climb into bed

♫ Pre-Chorus:
Eb
But at least she could stand on a stage and not care
Bb
Belting at a crowd like some soul-bearing prayer
Eb
When all they were looking for is a face
                      Bb
That looked just like theirs

♫ Chorus:
Eb
Breathe in deeper, understand less
Bb
Deep blue darkness at the hem of my dress
Eb                            Bb
Didn't even choose to wear it
Eb
California stapled to me
         Bb
Hold the eight year old close so she won't have to see
Gm7               F                  Eb
Me and the mind I left her inside of this long

♫ Verse:
Eb
It's been ten years since I spoke the truth
Bb
Hiding from the fact that I missed half my youth
Eb
Fib to survive and feed off of trying
Bb
I think that the easier thing is just lying

Pre♫ Chorus:
Eb                      Bb
When all my cousins get married will I
   Gm                       F
Be their flower girl or not receive an invite
          Eb                      Bb
The black sheep of the family every Christmastime
    Gm                            F
Stagnant in the corner while they pour out the wine

♫ Chorus:
Eb                 Bb
Breathe in deeper, still lost on how
    Gm                         F
The pavement talks back when I wander around
            Bb                   Gm     F
You're just sick of the footstep sounds
Eb                     Bb
Suitcase packed, shoes tied to my feet
       Gm7
Little girl in the doorway with one eye watching me
Eb             Bb                   Gm7 F
And the mind I left her inside this long

♫ Bridge:
Gm
It's been ten years since I saw my face

      F                       Dm

       Gm

Belting at a crowd with some soul-bearing prayer
     Bb
When all they were looking for is a face
                      Dm

♫ Outro:
      Eb
Now I walk to the kitchen, consume, and come back
     Bb
To a small box of poison that lights up the black
  Eb
I wake up each day next to myself
         Bb
Shift my eyes to the bathroom and there's someone else
Eb
Now all I see is the back of her head
Bb
As she stands on the tips of her toes
    Eb
She has no idea she's all I have left
Bb
She's not even tall enough to climb into bed
