Missy Higgins - Cooling of the Embers

Capo at 1st


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

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



                 Dm
And you're only half here
      Am       G           Dm       Am       G
like someone left a frail body and took the rest



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



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



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



                Dm
That your only half here
      Am      G            Dm        Am       G
like someone left a frail body and stole the rest




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



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



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

THE END!
