Unraveling

(início)

G                    Cadd9
Boxes and baskets of all her old things
Em7              Cadd9
Porcelain dolls, portrait paintings
G                  Cadd9           Em7   Cadd9
She swore they'd be worth something
G                              Cadd9
They're just gathering dust in my attic somewhere
Em7                               Cadd9
And she's lost in a room where she sits and she stares
G             C            Em     C
Her mind as blank as the walls
G              C             Em   C
Her memory as vacant as the halls
Chorus:
G            C              Em         C
I'm the only daughter of her oldest son
G           C              Em            C
I knew her well before her spirit was gone
         G            C              Em           C
And her life is a thread woven into every part of me
        G      C           Em        C
She is unraveling, she is unraveling
G                        Cadd9
She looks in my eyes and asks me my name
Em7                  Cadd9
Every five minutes I tell her the same
G                   Cadd9       Em7   Cadd9
She smiles but it's cold and dead
         G             Cadd9       Em7   Cadd9
And I'm screaming out loud in my head
Chorus repeats
G                   Cadd9
I tried to pull her back
Em               C              G
Stories and photographs of her children who love her
C
Sisters and brothers
Em                     C                     D
She can't remember but how could a heart forget?
Chorus repeats (G Cadd9 Em C)
          G                        Cadd9
I've been tearing through boxes on nights I can't sleep
Em                        C                  G
Searching for memories of who she used to be
