[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D G
I never will stop grieving who we are when
D
we are young
D
For my grandmother, her children, and who
G D
I never will become
D G
For a feeling that is fading more each day
D
I see the sun
D G
I never will stop grieving, grief is all I
D
know of love
D
For grief is love run backwards, a great
G D
movie in reverse
D G
And knowing how it ends can give another
D
something birth.
D
Gives another something terrible, great
G D
roots inside the earth
D
Too late after it's gone is when we
G D
finally weigh its worth.
[Chorus]
A
Like how my mother says that funerals have
G D
the timing down all wrong.
G D
You say so much to a person, only after
A
they are gone.
A G
But grief is love run backwards so we love
D
them better then
G
Yeah we love them with forgiveness, all
D A
because we know the end.
[Outro]
D G
So I never will stop grieving, everything
D
that's yet to die.
D G
I think I love after I'm dead, and grieve
D
while I'm alive.
