Leaving This Life chords by Lori McKenna

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

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

    A                     G
But I don't know what her voice sounds like
A                     G
I don't know what her skin feels like
  A                 G
I only know what it might feel like
       Bm               A
When a mother holds her daughter
          Bm                 A            G
When that mother knows she's leaving this life
             D
Leaving this life

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

A                        G
She doesn't know what my voice sounds like
A                        G
She doesn't know what my skin feels like
    A                   G
And I only know what it might feel like
       Bm               A
When a mother holds her daughter
          Bm                 A            G
When that mother knows she's leaving this life
             D    G D G
Leaving this life

    A                     G
And I don't know what her voice sounds like
    A                     G
And I don't know what her skin feels like
  A                 G
I only know what it might feel like
       Bm               A
When a mother holds her daughter
          Bm                 A            G
When that mother knows she's leaving this life
             D
Leaving this life
             G
Leaving this life
             D
Leaving this life
             G    D
Leaving this life
