The Backyard by Sarah Donner bmp 98

G G/B C
Gone is the song, the one that got away
G G/B C
Wrong I was wrong to think that someday
G/C# G/C
I’d be free
G G/B C
Right, you were right the world is not enough
G G/B C
Hind is the sight that I have to live up
G/C# G/D G/D# G/E F2
To just to breathe

C C/D G2 G2/A
I hope the world keeps spinning for you
C C/D G2 G2/A
I know you’ll never understand why
C C/D G2 G2/A
I won’t give out all my answers to the
G/Bb C2 C2/D
Questions you find buried in the backyard
G G/B C
Of mine

G G/B C
Wait I can wait, the stars are coming for you
G G/B C
Get out of the way, they burn up in your bedroom
G/C# G/D
They burn out like people who never say no
G/D# G/E
Like fires left burning out in the snow
F
Like me in a crowd and nowhere to go

C C/D G2 G2/A
C C/D G2 G2/A
I hope the world keeps spinning for you
C C/D G2 G2/A
I know you’ll never understand why
C C/D G2 G2/A
I won’t give out all my answers to the
G/Bb C2 C2/D
Questions you find buried in the backyard
G G/B C
Of mine

C C/D G2 G2/A
Painted poems mark the spot
On the places I forgot
C G/B Am G/B
Back in the closet Under my clothes
C G/B Am G/B
Folded so neatly like secrets I know
C G/B F/Bb
I’ve got it down to the science
Fsus/Bb /C /D /Eb
This not letting go

C C/D G2 G2/A triplet
C C/D G2 G2/A
I hope the world keeps spinning for you
C C/D G2 G2/A
I know you’ll never understand why
C C/D G2 G2/A
I won’t give out all my answers to the
G/Bb C2 C2/D
Questions you find buried in the backyard
G G/B C
