D 000200 G 550400 A 002200 Bm 024000 [Verse]
D
I am six years old in the back of my mother's car

    G
And I will be seven in December

D
She will be gone by the beginning of next spring

    G
And I will be left to remember

      D
To re member

D
I ask my little questions
She laughs a little laugh
    G
But she won't tell me where we're going

    D
She looks in my eyes with her eyes in the mirror

         G
And says some things you're better off not knowing

    D
Not knowing

    A                     G
But I don't know what her voice sounds like

A                     G
I don't know what her skin feels like

  A                 G
I only know what it might feel like

       Bm               A
When a mother holds her daughter

          Bm                 A            G
When that mother knows she's leaving this life

             D
Leaving this life

D
She's left with that reflection of me at six years old

    G
And I have her eyes in the mirror

     D
Well she and I, we are defined by what we have lost

G
Don't you wonder whose loss is dearer

D
Dearer

A                        G
She doesn't know what my voice sounds like

A                        G
She doesn't know what my skin feels like

    A                   G
And I only know what it might feel like

       Bm               A
When a mother holds her daughter

          Bm                 A            G
When that mother knows she's leaving this life

             D    G D G
Leaving this life

    A                     G
And I don't know what her voice sounds like

    A                     G
And I don't know what her skin feels like

  A                 G
I only know what it might feel like

       Bm               A
