Leaving This Life  Lori McKenna

(Verse)
[D]I am six years old in the back of my mother's car
And [G]I will be seven in December
[D]She will be gone by the beginning of next spring
And [G]I will be left to remember
To re [D]member
[D]I ask my little questions
She laughs a little laugh
But [G]she won't tell me where we're going
She [D]looks in my eyes with her eyes in the mirror
And says [G]some things you're better off not knowing
Not [D]knowing
But [A]I don't know what her [G]voice sounds like
[A]I don't know what her [G]skin feels like
I [A]only know what it [G]might feel like
When a [Bm]mother holds her [A]daughter
When that [Bm]mother knows she's [A]leaving this [G]life
Leaving this [D]life
[D]She's left with that reflection of me at six years old
And [G]I have her eyes in the mirror
Well [D]she and I, we are defined by what we have lost
[G]Don't you wonder whose loss is dearer
[D]Dearer
[A]She doesn't know what my [G]voice sounds like
[A]She doesn't know what my [G]skin feels like
And [A]I only know what it [G]might feel like
When a [Bm]mother holds her [A]daughter
When that [Bm]mother knows she's [A]leaving this [G]life
Leaving this [D]life[G] [D] [G]
And [A]I don't know what her [G]voice sounds like
And [A]I don't know what her [G]skin feels like
I [A]only know what it [G]might feel like
When a [Bm]mother holds her [A]daughter
When that [Bm]mother knows she's [A]leaving this [G]life
Leaving this [D]life
Leaving this [G]life
Leaving this [D]life
Leaving this [G]life [D]
