Her Quiet Footsteps

Tom : Am
F G Am
What is this place that I live?
F G
You don’t know the half of it
F G Am
Why did she leave it all to me?
F G
Just hold it all down, they say

[Verse 2]
F G Am G
I’m asking for more than I could ever deserve
F G F Am G
The smiles, the laughter, they ran along behind her
F G
Quiet footsteps, they’re cold now

[Refrão]
Am G
It’s been three years or so and still
F G
I can’t comprehend it
Am G F
This blue that’s left behind

[Chorus]
Am
Was I ever the fighting one?
C G
I couldn’t say that I feel that way
Fm Am
I am only the healing one

[Próxima Parte]
C
Holding my own hand
G F
With shaking arms

[Verse 3]
F G Am
We jumped into the water off Rosebud pier
F G
Two thousand and ten in the summer
F G Am
A fleeting memory lost to the wind
F G
Just a picture held in a photo book

[Verse 4]
F G
The small boy under the tree
Am G
Circa nineteen sixty-three
F G
Sure he’d be glad to see you and me
Fm Am G
The white noise here reminds me that
F G
Your footsteps are cold now

[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
C
Holding my own hand
G F
With shaking arms

[Bridge]
F
Will the tears come to the surface
Am
Now that I’m sucked dry
Em
An empty shell
I’ve got a piece of your heart
F
Thrown up, spat out into the dark
