F...
[Verse 1]
F GRemember once I told you about
Gm7How before I heard it from your mouth
F G Gm7My name would always hit my ears as such an awful sound
F GAnd the soul, if that's what you'd call it
Gm7 F GUneasy ally of the body, it felt nameless as a river
C Gm7Undiscovered underground
[Pre-Chorus]
F GAnd the first time that you kissed me
Gm7I drank dry the River Lithe
F G Gm7The Liffey would have been softer on my stomach all the same
F GBut you spoke some quick new music
Gm7That went so far to soothe this soul
F G Gm7As it was and ever shall be, unearth without a name
[Chorus]
F G Gm7Some part of me must have died
F G CThe first time that you called me, "Baby"
F G Gm7And some part of me came alive
F G CThe first time that you called me, "Baby"
[Verse 2]
F G Gm7These days I think I owe my life to flowers
FTo flowers that were left here by my mother
G CAin't that like them, giftin' life to you again
F GThis life lived mostly underground
Gm7Unknowin' either sight nor sound
F G C'Til reachin' up for sunlight just to be ripped out by the stem
[Pre-Chorus]
F GSensing only now it's dyin'
Gm7Drying out, then drowning blindly
F GBloomin' forth its every colour
CIn the moments it has left
F GTo share the space with simple living things
Gm7 F GInfinitely suffering, but fighting off like all creation
CThe absence of itself, anyway
[Chorus]
F G Gm7Some part of me must have died
F G CEach time that you called me, "Baby"
F G Gm7But some part of me stayed alive
F G CEach time that you called, each time that you called
[Bridge]
FCome here
G Gm7Ooh-la-la, ooh-la-la
F G CWhatever keeps you around, it keeps you around
F G Gm7Ooh-la-la, come here, ooh-la-la
F G CWhatever keeps you around, it keeps you around
[Verse 3]
F GThe last time it was heard out loud
Gm7 FThe perfect genius of our hands and mouths were shocked
G CTo resignation as the arguing declined
F GWhen I was young I used to guess
Gm7Are there limits to any emptiness?
F GWhen was the last time
CCome here to me, when was the last time?
[Chorus]
F G Gm7Some part of me must have died
F G CThe final time that you called me, "Baby"
F G Gm7But some part of me came alive
F G CThe final you called me, "Baby"
