Chords

From 'Song For Our Daughter' (2020) Worked out quickly at the piano. Not sure about the Bbdims; interchangeable with the Dbms. Just vibe it. [Intro] E E/A E/B D A [Verse 1]
    E             E/A             E/B        D       A
You took out that money that your momma had saved

     Ab                   Dbm      Dbm7     Bbdim
She told me she kept it for running away

  E/B               B
Oh my, fortunes can change
[Verse 2]
        E             E/A             E/B            D       A
You've picked up some tricks that you learnt on your way

     Ab                      Dbm    Dbm7     Dbm
For fear you'd be lonely if you never change

   E/B               B
Oh my, you lost your faith
[Verse 3]
    E         E/A              E/B        D       A
We landed on rocks and that's partly to blame

    Ab                   Dbm      Dbm7     Bbdim
We wandered the landscape in this unbearable pain

   E/B               B
Oh my, your fortune can change
E E/A E/B D A [Verse 4]
    E        E/A             E/B         D       A
At least we agree that we've wasted our time

       Ab                         Dbm   Dbm7  Dbm  Bbdim
We'll give up the hope that we'll meet down the line

 E/B                   B
Better off measured in coffee than wine
E E/A E/B D A [Verse 5]
    E          E/A           E/B            D       A
I think on it fondly now the truth can be told

 Ab                          Dbm      Dbm7     Bbdim
Some love is ancient and it lives on in your soul

   E/B           B
A fortune that never grows old
E E/A E/B D A [Verse 6]
      E             E/A             E/B        D       A
You spent all that money that your momma had saved

 Ab          Ab7         Dbm      Dbm7     Dbm
Told me she kept it for running away

  Ab         Ab7          Dbm      Dbm7     Dbm
Never quite found the right way to say

     Ab        Ab7         Dbm      Dbm7     Bbdim
I'm sorry, my darling, my mind it has been changed

   E/B               B
Release me from this unbearable pain
E E/A E/B D A [Verse 7]
    E          E/A         E/B       D       A
And so ends a story I had hoped to change

  Ab                   Dbm      Dbm7     Bbdim
I had to release us from this unbearable pain

     E/B             B
And promise we won't come here again
[Outro] E E/A E/B D A Ab Ab7 Dbm Dbm7 Dbm E/B B E
