[Intro] G  C

    G
The sparrows tend to fall asleep
                             C
The wind doesn't speak to me no more
    G
The water that becomes the sea
                                   C
It holds me until I can't breathe at all
 
  G
I dream of things I've never seen
                                C
The sunlight doesn't wait for me now
  G
My demons, they walk with me
                          C
They tell me that I let you down

                G
You were just a heartbeat, yet to come alive

Just two feet, yet to stand upright
         C
Was just three times we cried that night
              Am
'Cause it was four months until you arrived
          G
And though I'll never be able to describe

How you were born with your mother's eyes
         C
And how your hands felt when they met mine
        Am
And how Luke thinks we look alike

      G
If I'm wed, I'd tell her she's beautiful
                                  C
And that I think she should smile more

You'd never know, but she misses you
          Am
More than anyone she's known

G
And though I'll never

Get to recognize your voice
                       C
On the other line when you've grown
             Am
And made me proud to call you mine

      G                   C
I still know you, I still know you

                G
You were just a heartbeat, yet to come alive

Just two feet, yet to stand upright
         C
Was just three times we cried that night
              Am
'Cause it was four months until you arrived
          G
And though I'll never be able to describe

How you were born with your mother's eyes
         C
And how your hands felt when they met mine
        Am
And how Luke thinks we look alike

      G
I'll keep you safe inside my mind

As I try to say goodbye
      C
There was more than one heart

That stopped that night
        Am
If I'm honest

     G
I'll keep you safe inside my mind

As I try to say goodbye
      C
There was more than one heart

That stopped that night
        
If I'm honest

                G
You were just a heartbeat, yet to come alive

Just two feet, yet to stand upright
         C
Was just three times we cried that night
              Am
'Cause it was four months until you arrived
          G
And though I'll never be able to describe

How you were born with your mother's eyes
         C
And how your hands felt when they met mine
        Am
And how Luke thinks we look alike


     G
I'll keep you safe inside my mind

As I try to say goodbye
      C
There was more than one heart

That stopped that night
  Am          G      
I'm so sorry
