Intro:Am G C GC 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»
