Capo 1
Verse
G
Breath it out
D
Close your eyes
Em C
It's finally taking over
G
Silence falls
D
In the room
Em
I wanna keep this moment
C
Like a bottle of perfume
Pre-Chorus
C
‘Cause I'm terrified
D
That those wrinkles by your eyes
Em
Will become blurry lines
G C
In a couple of years from now
D
When I'm thinking of your face
Cm
And suddenly it fades from me
[Refrão]
G D
15 good years
Em C
We couldn't be much closer
G
But if you're gone
D
And I'm here
Em C
Am I just somebody's daughter, now
Verse
G D
Your heart is slowing down
Em C
Like a train pulling in to the station
G D
I'm about as helpless as
Em C
Those empty bottles of medication
Pre-Chorus
C
And there'll come a time
D
When I'm dressed in white
Em
And a space by my side
G
Should've been filled by you
C D
But I'll be thinking of your face
Cm
And hoping that you're thinking of me, too
[Refrão]
G D
15 good years
Em C
We couldn't be much closer
G
But if you're gone
D
And I'm here
Em C
Am I just somebody's daughter, now
Bridge
Em
You gave me life
C
Guess I thought you'd be immortal
G
Those Brisbane lights
D
They're shining for you
Em
Your lungs are black
C
Your body's fading grey
G D
But everything is blinding me, now
[Refrão]
G D
15 good years
Em C
We couldn't be much closer
G
But if you're gone
D
And I'm here
Em C
Am I just somebody's daughter, now
G D
15 good years
Em
Those Brisbane lights
C
They're shining for you
G
But if you're gone
D
And I'm here
Em C
Am I just somebody's daughter, now
