Unraveling by Liz Longley
Unraveling
Tuning: E A D G B E
Standard Tuning: EADGBe
Capo: 2nd
G Cadd9
Boxes and baskets of all her old things
Em7 Cadd9
Porcelain dolls, portrait paintings
G Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9
She swore they'd be worth something
G Cadd9
They're just gathering dust in my attic somewhere
Em7 Cadd9
And she's lost in a room where she sits and she stares
G C Em C
Her mind as blank as the walls
G C Em C
Her memory as vacant as the halls
Chorus:
G C Em C
I'm the only daughter of her oldest son
G C Em C
I knew her well before her spirit was gone
G C Em C
And her life is a thread woven into every part of me
G C Em C
She is unraveling, she is unraveling
G Cadd9
She looks in my eyes and asks me my name
Em7 Cadd9
Every five minutes I tell her the same
G Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9
She smiles but it's cold and dead
G Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9
And I'm screaming out loud in my head
Chorus repeats
G Cadd9
I tried to pull her back
Em C G
Stories and photographs of her children who love her
C
Sisters and brothers
Em C D
She can't remember but how could a heart forget?
Chorus repeats (G Cadd9 Em C)
G Cadd9
I've been tearing through boxes on nights I can't sleep
Em C G
Searching for memories of who she used to be
