[Verse]
    D                               A7
If you had have known that in the same year
                   D7
Your mother would go and that I would
                          G                                     D
Have my first birthday, would you still marry the man of your dreams
                           A          A7
And build up a life that would be deemed so
           D7
Perfectly sewn at the seams?
                                Em
Oh, I wonder if you would have stopped
  G                      Em
Just a while longer to listen
                           G
To all the weight of her breathing
                          Em
Notice the sound of her screaming
                      G
Promise to love her even when she couldn't feel it

    D                         A7
You said, you had an eating disorder
                                       D7
It sparred with your love for your daughter
                      G
You wanted to be an example
                       Em
You made your body a temple
                                   G
When you heard the weight of her breathing
                           Em
Noticed the sound of her screaming
                          G
You promised to love her even when she couldn't feel it

I know, you see the beauty in dust
   A                           D7                       G
So I try to lift all of it up and press it against my eyelids
                             D
Hoping my lashes will find hints
                       A                       A7          D7
Carry them down to the fine print of how I see all of the world
     E               G
You are my number one girl
               G           Em
And I want to love the way you do
                            G
Notice the weight of your breathing
                          Em
Hold you when I hear you screaming
                     G
Promise to love you even
  G
Notice the weight of your breathing
                           Em
Hold you when I hear you screaming
                G
Tell me do you even
 D  A  A7  Em   G
Do you feel my love?
