Bb
If I could be stronger
       Eb
And if you were just older
         Bb
We might last this out longer
        Eb
But the task just gets harder
       Bb
And my face turned to red
              Eb
From drinking all that dead water
         Cm
And the again when you said
     Dm    Eb
That I was my mother's daughter

[Chorus]
F
Shaky when he comes to me
Eb
Shaky but I believe
F
Shaky and I'm on my knees
Eb
There are better things for me
F
Shaky when I came to be
Eb
When they left, they left me in pieces
F
Shaky, but I believe
Eb
There are better things for me

[Verse]
   Bb
If my legs were longer
           Eb
They might carry us further
       Bb
But we waited too long
           Eb
And so the task just gets harder
        Bb
And the thoughts that come in
             Eb
They come on stronger and stronger
       Cm
And it takes all of me
   Dm        Eb
To just stay out of the water

[Chorus]
N.C.
Shaky when he comes to me
Eb
Shaky but I believe
F
Shaky and I'm on my knees
Eb
There are better things for me
F
Shaky when I came to be
Eb
When they left, they left me in pieces
F
Shaky, but I believe
Ab                     Gm
When you left, you left for a reason
Bb          
When you left, you left for a reason
F
When you left, you left for a reason
Ab
When you left, you left for a reason
Eb
When you left, you left for a reason

Bb    F                             Ab
Hold tightly to the things I see I see
                         Eb 
My eyes can reach passed all that's been laid out for me

[Chorus]
F
Shaky when he comes to me
Eb
Shaky but I believe
F
Shaky and I'm on my knees
Eb
There are better things for me
F
Shaky when I came to be
Eb
When they left, they left me in pieces
F
Shaky, but I believe
Eb
There are better things for me
Bb
