[Start] [Intro] Gmaj7 G Am7 D7 Eb G Bb ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ [Verse] Bb The street beneath my feet Bb Is paved with rows of gold F7 Or so I'm told F7 The sky before my eyes is never colour grey D7 Or so they say G I guess I've known the truth since I was pretty young Am7 That I never knew my mother's mother tongue Am7 I'll fake all of my words til they point out to me D7 The crowds of purple orchid flowers Eb I can't see [Inst] Abm Eb Bb Bbmaj7 Bb Bbmaj7 ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ [Chorus] Bb C7 I'll play along with borrowed chords until they shine F7 They're still not mine Bb I'll breathe all of these postcards in until they land D7 Still secondhand G She gave me half my bones and made me one my lungs Am7 But the same cold air is filling both of them Am7 Meanwhile a crocodile points out whats left behind D7 The field of yellow daffodils you tried Abm7 Ab7 G7 Bbsus4 But couldn't ■ ■ find Eb I've known since I was pretty young Eb I never knew my mother's mother tongue Eb I've known since I was pretty young Eb I never knew my mother's mother tongue [Outro] Eb I'm putting on a smile made out of plasticine Fsus4 ■ And looking clean [End]
