Shes From Before

Intro: D A/C# D 


 
D       A/C#        Bm 
 I must tire myself out now 
G                              D      A 
 Or my bed will be tunnels and creeps 
D       A/C#             Bm 
 I must look right at my baby 
G                           D 
 Or the mirror will play on me 
 

 
        A                  G 
Ancient love, she's from before 
     D             A              G 
Hail Mary, all the lights lead to her 
     D          A              F# 
Good grief, no, grief is not a cure 
 

 
        F#/Bb                 G#m 
 I wanna know the one that I'm named for 
E                               F# 
 I want to understand this shame 
         F#/Bb            G#m 
 I want a son named for my hometown 
E                               F# 
 I want to end the mourning game 
 

 
D         A/C#                    Bm 
 The west burns but the east will bleed 
G                                   D     A 
 My ancestors haunt most cities and towns 
D     A/C#            Bm 
 So I tour to try and talk to them 
G                                D 
 Can't have these thoughts on my own 
 

 
        A                    G 
Ancient love, they're from before 
     D                  A           G 
They walk with me, they smile, they mourn 
     D          A                F# 
Good grief, no, grief is not the cure 
 

 
        F#/Bb           G#m 
 I wanna trip back to my hometown 
E                                 F# 
 But I overslept because it rained 
        F#/Bb                    G#m 
 I gotta tell you it's been a lot these days 
E                                  F# 
 It's time to end the mourning game
