Just transcribed from some chord finding site, sounds correct though.
Bb majorBb C majorC G minorGm
Bb majorBb C majorC G minorGm
I can't get the image out of my head
FF G minorGm
Of when I held you right there
Bb majorBb FF
And watched you die
Bb majorBb C majorC G minorGm
Upstairs in the back bedroom of our house
G minorGm
Where we have lived for many years
FF G minorGm
Your last gasping breaths
Bb majorBb FF
I see it again and again
Bb majorBb C majorC G minorGm
As the breeze blew in
FF G minorGm
The room I still don't go in at night
Bb majorBb FF
Because I see you
Bb majorBb C majorC
Your transformed, dying face will recede with time
G minorGm
Is what our counselor said
FF G minorGm
Who we walked to every Monday, holding hands
Bb majorBb FF
Slower every week with your breathing
G minorGm
Until we had to drive
Bb majorBb C majorC
But then only two months after you died
G minorGm
Our counselor died
FF G minorGm
All at once, her empty office with no light on
Bb majorBb FF
As if her work was done
G minorGm A minorAm Bb majorBb C majorC
We are all always so close to not existing at all
G minorGm A minorAm Bb majorBb C majorC
Except in the confusion of our survived-bys grasping at the echoes
Bb majorBb C majorC G minorGm
Today our daughter asked me if mama swims
FF G minorGm
I told her, "Yes, she does
Bb majorBb
And that's probably all she does
FF
Now."
G minorGm A minorAm Bb majorBb
What was you is now borne across waves
C majorC
Evaporating
