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"
