G Am F
Oh my God it's over
G Am F
Smiling devil on my shoulder
G Am F
Cut the cord for the leaving
G Am F
Fatherless for a season
G Am F
G Am F
How we break long division
G Am F
I will miss all her children
G Am F
Fall from grace and your favor
G Am F
From now on just a stranger
G Am F
But you took your breath from me
G Am F
You took your breath from me
(strummed from here on)
G Am F
Cast my bones to the casket
G Am F
Tell her how long it lasted
G Am F
Hold a place in the mortar
G Am F
Lay her down here my daughter
G Am F
Root her seed to another
G Am F
I was her native mother
G Am F
Never thought I could save her
G Am F
Please remind her I made her
G Am F
You took your breath from me
G Am F
You took your breath from me
