G                    Cadd9 
Boxes and baskets of all her old things 
Em7              Cadd9 
Porcelain dolls, portrait paintings 
G                  Cadd9           Em7   Cadd9 
She swore they'd be worth something 

G                              Cadd9                      
They're just gathering dust in my attic somewhere  
Em7                               Cadd9 
And she's lost in a room where she sits and she stares 
G             C            Em     C  
Her mind as blank as the walls 
G              C             Em   C          
Her memory as vacant as the halls 

Chorus:  
G            C              Em         C       
I'm the only daughter of her oldest son 
G           C              Em            C   
I knew her well before her spirit was gone 
         G            C              Em           C         
And her life is a thread woven into every part of me 
        G      C           Em        C 
She is unraveling, she is unraveling 
  
G                        Cadd9 
She looks in my eyes and asks me my name 
Em7                  Cadd9 
Every five minutes I tell her the same 
G                   Cadd9       Em7   Cadd9  
She smiles but it's cold and dead 
         G             Cadd9       Em7   Cadd9     
And I'm screaming out loud in my head 

Chorus repeats 

G                   Cadd9 
I tried to pull her back 
Em               C              G              
Stories and photographs of her children who love her 
C 
Sisters and brothers 
Em                     C                     D 
She can't remember but how could a heart forget? 

Chorus repeats (G Cadd9 Em C) 

          G                        Cadd9 
I've been tearing through boxes on nights I can't sleep 
Em                        C                  G 
Searching for memories of who she used to be
