Missy Higgins - Cooling of the Embers

Capo at 1st


   C majorC
You put your hand on top of mine
    G+G
you're talking fast but talking blind
    FF           C majorC    G+G
and I can't bring myself to meet your eyes

   C majorC
'cos death is slowly covering you
  G+G
in galaxies of black and blue
  FF           C majorC     G+G
and under your skin all his colors bloom


         DmDm
And you're only half here
   A minorAm    G+G      DmDm    A minorAm    G+G
like someone left a frail body and took the rest


     C majorC FF    DmDm
But I remember when you were strong
 G+G          C majorC  FF
never wanted help from no-one
   DmDm          G+G       C, Dm, G+G
what you've become is not who I remember
                  C, Dm, Em, F, G+G
Is this the cooling of the embers?


    C majorC
She's back again through summers past
   G+G
the smell of rain and freshly cut grass
       FF        C majorC       G+G
seems those ordinary days are the ones that last

   C majorC
Cos he was there, the one you loved
  G+G
the one you never could let go of
       FF             C majorC     G+G
and there's something you know as you're looking up


        DmDm
That your only half here
   A minorAm   G+G      DmDm    A minorAm    G+G
like someone left a frail body and stole the rest



     C majorC FF    DmDm
But I remember when you were strong
 G+G          C majorC  FF
never wanted help from no-one
   DmDm        G+G         C, Dm, E minorEm
what you've become is not who I remember
       FF           C, Dm, Em, F, G, Am, F. G+G
Is this the cooling of the embers?
       A minorAm      FF
is this the cooling of the embers?


G+G      A minorAm      FF
Cos you are not who I remember
G+G           A minorAm        FF
it's like you are a child, you are a child, you are a child once more
G+G        A minorAm        FF
and all of our yesterday's have gone


   C majorC
You put your hand on top of mine
    G+G
you're talking fast but talking blind
    FF           C majorC     G+G
and I can't bring myself to meet your eyes...

THE END!
