Intro: Db

Verse 1:
  Db                        Ab
Remember once I told you about
      Ebm7
How before I heard it from your mouth
    Db                    Ab           Ebm7
My name would always hit my ears as such an awful sound
         Db                          Ab
And the soul, if that's what you'd call it
  Ebm7                             Db             Ab
Uneasy ally of the body, it felt nameless as a river
      Gb             Ebm7
Undiscovered underground

Pre-chorus:
         Db                   Ab
And the first time that you kissed me
        Ebm7
I drank dry the River Lithe
     Db                      Ab            Ebm7
The Liffey would have been softer on my stomach all the same
          Db               Ab
But you spoke some quick new music
     Ebm7
That went so far to soothe this soul
       Db             Ab         Ebm7
As it was and ever shall be, unearth without a name

Chorus:
 Db           Ab        Ebm7
Some part of me must have died
      Db                  Ab           Gb
The first time that you called me, "Baby"
      Db          Ab        Ebm7
And some part of me came alive
     Db                    Ab          Gb
The first time that you called me, "Baby"

Verse 2:
       Db                 Ab
These days I think I owe my life
      Ebm7                            Db
To flowers that were left here by my mother
            Ab                  Gb
Ain't that like them, giftin' life to you again
      Db                 Ab
This life lived mostly underground
 Ebm7
Unknowin' either sight nor sound
       Db                 Ab                Gb
'Til reachin' up for sunlight just to be ripped out by the stem

Pre-chorus:
          Db            Ab
Sensing only now it's dyin'
       Ebm7
Drying out, then drowning blindly
          Db               Ab
Bloomin' forth its every colour
        Gb
In the moments it has left
               Db                Ab
To share the space with simple living things
 Ebm7                                Db              Ab
Infinitely suffering, but fighting off like all creation
     Gb
The absence of itself, anyway

Chorus:
 Db           Ab        Ebm7
Some part of me must have died
  Db                  Ab          Gb
Each time that you called me, "Baby"
     Db            Ab         Ebm7
But some part of me stayed alive
  Db                 Ab       Gb
Each time that you called, each time that you called

Bridge:
      Db
Come here
       Ab   Ebm7
Ooh-la-la, ooh-la-la
           Db          Ab        Gb
Whatever keeps you around, it keeps you around
 Db     Ab              Ebm7
Ooh-la-la, come here, ooh-la-la
          Db          Ab         Gb
Whatever keeps you around, it keeps you around

Verse 3:
      Db                         Ab
The last time it was heard out loud
             Ebm7                                 Db
The perfect genius of our hands and mouths were shocked
          Ab            Gb
To resignation as the arguing declined
     Db                       Ab
When I was young I used to guess
           Ebm7
Are there limits to any emptiness?
   Db               Ab
When was the last time
             Gb
Come here to me, when was the last time?

Chorus:
 Db            Ab            Ebm7
Some part of me must have died
     Db               Ab          Gb
The final time you called me, "Baby"
     Db           Ab        Ebm7
But some part of me came alive
     Db            Ab          Gb
The final time you called me, "Baby"
