Verse 1:
    G7                                   Gm7
The street beneath my feet Is paved with rows of gold
   Fmaj7
Or so    I'm told (so I'm told)
    Bbmaj7                         Cm7
The sky    before my eyes is never colour grey
   D7
Or so they say

I guess I've known the truth since I was pretty young

That I never knew my mother's mother tongue
     Bm7                                 E7
I'll fake all of my words til they point out to me
    Am7                     D7               Ebmaj7
The crowds of purple orchid flowers, I can't see

I'll play along with borrowed chords until they shine
        F
They're still not mine (still not mine)
     Bbmaj7                              Em7
I'll breathe all of these postcards in until they land
      D7
Still second-hand

Verse 4:
    G7                                E7
She gave me half my bones and made me one my lungs
Am7                              Cm7
But the same cold air is filling both of them
     Gm7                               Em7
Meanwhile a crocodile points out whats left behind
    Am7                           Dmaj7
The field of yellow daffodils you tried
             Ab7
But couldn't find

I've known since I was pretty young

I never knew my mother's mother tongue
    Gm7                            Cm7
I'm putting on a smile made out of plasticine
    F7
And looking clean
