Chords

   Asus2                      
My mother bought it secondhand

        Bdim/A       A
From a silent movie star

       Asus2/C#                            Dsus2   D
It was out of tune but still I learned to play

    F#m              D                
And with each note we both would smile

 F#m              C#m
Forgetting who we are

     Dm                E       Asus4
And all the pain would simply fly away

          D              A     
Something secondhand and broken

           D             A
Still can make a pretty sound

      D/F#          A/E      B/D#     C#/F
Even if it doesn't have a place to live

        F#m                 A/E 
Oh, the words were left unspoken

         F#m/D#       Dm
When my Mama came around

         A/C#              Dm       
But that Secondhand White Baby Grand

  F#m               E         Asus2   A
Still had something beautiful to give

Bbsus2                                 
Through missing keys and broken strings

 Cdim/Bb          Bb
The music was our own

Bbsus2/D            Ebsus2         Eb
Until the day we said our last goodbyes

    Gm             Eb  
The baby grand was sent away

   Gm       Dm
A child all alone

    Ebm          F          Bb
To pray somebody else would realize

                Eb           Bb
That something secondhand and broken

          Eb             Bb
Still can make a pretty sound

     Eb/G          Bb/F            C/E     D/F#
Even if it doesn't have a place to live

        Gm              Bb/F
Oh, the words are still unspoken

         Gm/E        Ebm
Now that Mama's not around

          Bb/D             Ebm
But that Secondhand White Baby Grand

Gm                  F            Bbsus2   Bb
Still has something beautiful to give

Gb/Bb                           Bb
For many years the music had to roam

Dm                              E
Until we found a way to find a home

Asus2      
So now I wake up every day

    Bdim/A           A
And see her standing there

     Asus2/C#                 Dsus2    D
Just waiting for a partner to compose

      F#m            D
And I wish my mother still could hear

     F#m             C#m
That sound beyond compare

     Dm              E           Asus4   A
I'll play her song till everybody knows

                D              A
That something secondhand and broken

          D              A
Still can make a pretty sound

         D/F#          A/E      B/D#     C#/F
Don't we all deserve a family room to live

        F#m              A/E
Oh, the words can't stay unspoken

       F#m/D#       Dm
Until everyone has found

      A/C#             Dm
That Secondhand White Baby Grand

     F#m                 Dm      E    Asus2   A
That still has something beautiful to give

    Dm/F               E           A
I still have something beautiful to give
