Am G C Dm F


Intro: Am G C G
       C

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

Pre-Chorus:
            C                   G
    And the first time that you kissed me
            Dm
    I drank dry the River Lithe
        C                      G
    The Liffey would have been softer
          Dm
    On my stomach all the same
     
             C                   G
    But you spoke some quick new music
         Dm
    That went so far to soothe this soul
          C            G
    As it was and ever shall be
    Dm
    Unearth without a name

Chorus:
    C            G       Dm
    Some part of me must have died
        C                   G           F
    The first time that you called me, «Baby»
        C            G        Dm
    And some part of me came alive
        C                   G           F
    The first time that you called me, «Baby»

      C                  G          Dm
These days I think I owe my life to flowers
                                     C
To flowers that were left here by my mother
           G                  F
Ainʼt that like them, giftinʼ life to you again
 
     C                 G
This life lived mostly underground
Dm
Unknowinʼ either sight nor sound
     C                  G
ʼTil reachinʼ up for sunlight
           F
Just to be ripped out by the stem

Pre-Chorus:
            C             G
    Sensing only now itʼs dyinʼ
           Dm
    Drying out, then drowning blindly
             C               G
    Bloominʼ forth its every colour
           F
    In the moments it has left
     
                 C                 G
    To share the space with simple living things
    Dm                                 C               G
    Infinitely suffering, but fighting off like all creation
        F
    The absence of itself, anyway

Chorus:
    C            G       Dm
    Some part of me must have died
    C                  G           F
    Each time that you called me, «Baby»
        C            G          Dm
    But some part of me stayed alive
    C                  G       F
    Each time that you called, each time that you called

Bridge:
         C
    Come here
           G   Dm
    Ooh-la-la, ooh-la-la
             C          G         F
    Whatever keeps you around, it keeps you around
    C      G              Dm
    Ooh-la-la, come here, ooh-la-la
             C          G         F
    Whatever keeps you around, it keeps you around

    C                          G
The last time it was heard out loud
            Dm                                  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
          Dm
Are there limits to any emptiness?
C                 G
When was the last time
             F
Come here to me, when was the last time?

Chorus:
    C            G       Dm
    Some part of me must have died
        C                   G           F
    The final time that you called me, «Baby»
        C            G        Dm
    But some part of me came alive
        C              G           F
    The final time you called me, «Baby»
