Verse 

G 
Breath it out 
D 
Close your eyes 
Em             C 
It's finally taking over 
G 
Silence falls 
D 
In the room 
Em 
I wanna keep this moment 
C 
Like a bottle of perfume 


Pre-Chorus 

C 
‘Cause I'm terrified 
                    D 
That those wrinkles by your eyes 
             Em 
Will become blurry lines 
        G                         C 
In a couple of years from now 
                   D 
When I'm thinking of your face 
         Cm 
And suddenly it fades from me 


G   D 
15 good years 
Em                  C 
We couldn't be much closer 
G 
But if you're gone 
D 
And I'm here 
Em                          C 
Am I just somebody's daughter, now 


Verse 

G               D 
Your heart is slowing down 
           Em                 C 
Like a train pulling in to the station 
G                    D           
I'm about as helpless as 
        Em              C 
Those empty bottles of medication 


Pre-Chorus 

C                        
And there'll come a time 
D 
When I'm dressed in white 
Em 
And a space by my side 
G 
Should've been filled by you 
C          D 
But I'll be thinking of your face 
        Cm 
And hoping that you're thinking of me, too 
 

G   D 
15 good years 
Em                  C 
We couldn't be much closer 
G 
But if you're gone 
D 
And I'm here 
Em                          C 
Am I just somebody's daughter, now 


Bridge 

Em 
You gave me life 
        C 
Guess I thought you'd be immortal 
        G 
Those Brisbane lights 
        D 
They're shining for you 
Em 
Your lungs are black 
          C 
Your body's fading grey 
        G                  D 
But everything is blinding me, now 


G   D 
15 good years 
Em                  C 
We couldn't be much closer 
G 
But if you're gone 
D 
And I'm here 
Em                          C 
Am I just somebody's daughter, now 

G   D 
15 good years 
Em                   
Those Brisbane lights 
        C 
They're shining for you 
G 
But if you're gone 
D 
And I'm here 
Em                          C 
Am I just somebody's daughter, now
