Leaving This Life chords by Lori McKenna

Chords with lyrics

Verse
Chord diagramD MajorD
I am six years old in the back of my mother's car
    Chord diagramG+G
And I will be seven in December
Chord diagramD MajorD
She will be gone by the beginning of next spring
    Chord diagramG+G
And I will be left to remember
      Chord diagramD MajorD
To re member

Chord diagramD MajorD
I ask my little questions
She laughs a little laugh
    Chord diagramG+G
But she won't tell me where we're going
    Chord diagramD MajorD
She looks in my eyes with her eyes in the mirror
         Chord diagramG+G
And says some things you're better off not knowing
    Chord diagramD MajorD
Not knowing

    Chord diagramA augmentedA                     Chord diagramG+G
But I don't know what her voice sounds like
Chord diagramA augmentedA                     Chord diagramG+G
I don't know what her skin feels like
  Chord diagramA augmentedA                 Chord diagramG+G
I only know what it might feel like
       Chord diagramB minorBm               Chord diagramA augmentedA
When a mother holds her daughter
          Chord diagramB minorBm                 Chord diagramA augmentedA            Chord diagramG+G
When that mother knows she's leaving this life
             Chord diagramD MajorD
Leaving this life

Chord diagramD MajorD
She's left with that reflection of me at six years old
    Chord diagramG+G
And I have her eyes in the mirror
     Chord diagramD MajorD
Well she and I, we are defined by what we have lost
Chord diagramG+G
Don't you wonder whose loss is dearer
Chord diagramD MajorD
Dearer

Chord diagramA augmentedA                        Chord diagramG+G
She doesn't know what my voice sounds like
Chord diagramA augmentedA                        Chord diagramG+G
She doesn't know what my skin feels like
    Chord diagramA augmentedA                   Chord diagramG+G
And I only know what it might feel like
       Chord diagramB minorBm               Chord diagramA augmentedA
When a mother holds her daughter
          Chord diagramB minorBm                 Chord diagramA augmentedA            Chord diagramG+G
When that mother knows she's leaving this life
             Chord diagramD MajorD    Chord diagramG+G Chord diagramD MajorD Chord diagramG+G
Leaving this life

    Chord diagramA augmentedA                     Chord diagramG+G
And I don't know what her voice sounds like
    Chord diagramA augmentedA                     Chord diagramG+G
And I don't know what her skin feels like
  Chord diagramA augmentedA                 Chord diagramG+G
I only know what it might feel like
