[Intro] C#

[Primeira Parte]

  C#                        G#
Remember once I told you about
      D#m7
How before I heard it from your mouth
    C#                    G#           D#m7
My name would always hit my ears as such an awful sound
         C#                          G#
And the soul, if that's what you'd call it
  D#m7                             C#             G#
Uneasy ally of the body, it felt nameless as a river
      F#             D#m7
Undiscovered underground

[Pré-Refrão]

         C#                   G#
And the first time that you kissed me
        D#m7
I drank dry the River Lithe
     C#                      G#            D#m7
The Liffey would have been softer on my stomach all the same
          C#               G#
But you spoke some quick new music
     D#m7
That went so far to soothe this soul
       C#             G#         D#m7
As it was and ever shall be, unearth without a name

[Refrão]

 C#           G#        D#m7
Some part of me must have died
      C#                  G#           F#
The first time that you called me, "Baby"
      C#          G#        D#m7
And some part of me came alive
     C#                    G#          F#
The first time that you called me, "Baby"

[Segunda Parte]

       C#                 G#
These days I think I owe my life
      D#m7                            C#
To flowers that were left here by my mother
            G#                  F#
Ain't that like them, giftin' life to you again
      C#                 G#
This life lived mostly underground
 D#m7
Unknowin' either sight nor sound
       C#                 G#                F#
'Til reachin' up for sunlight just to be ripped out by the stem

[Pré-Refrão]

          C#            G#
Sensing only now it's dyin'
       D#m7
Drying out, then drowning blindly
          C#               G#
Bloomin' forth its every colour
        F#
In the moments it has left
               C#                G#
To share the space with simple living things
 D#m7                                C#              G#
Infinitely suffering, but fighting off like all creation
     F#
The absence of itself, anyway

[Refrão]

 C#           G#        D#m7
Some part of me must have died
  C#                  G#          F#
Each time that you called me, "Baby"
     C#            G#         D#m7
But some part of me stayed alive
  C#                 G#       F#
Each time that you called, each time that you called

[Ponte]

      C#
Come here
       G#   D#m7
Ooh-la-la, ooh-la-la
           C#          G#        F#
Whatever keeps you around, it keeps you around
 C#     G#              D#m7
Ooh-la-la, come here, ooh-la-la
          C#          G#         F#
Whatever keeps you around, it keeps you around

[Terceira Parte]

      C#                         G#
The last time it was heard out loud
             D#m7                                 C#
The perfect genius of our hands and mouths were shocked
          G#            F#
To resignation as the arguing declined
     C#                       G#
When I was young I used to guess
           D#m7
Are there limits to any emptiness?
   C#               G#
When was the last time
             F#
Come here to me, when was the last time?

[Refrão]

 C#            G#            D#m7
Some part of me must have died
     C#               G#          F#
The final time you called me, "Baby"
     C#           G#        D#m7
But some part of me came alive
     C#            G#          F#
The final time you called me, "Baby"
