Lisa Mitchell - Incomplete Lullaby

capo on 1st

C F C F F

C
like a turning head
F
like a second look
C G
like a burning leaf of an open book
Am
like a pounding sea
F
like a messy crime
C G
when your eyes first met with mine
C
like a broken word
F
like a tragic smile
C G
like a thousand steps or a single mile
Am
like a lonely chance
F
like a savage glow
C G
when you turned and said hello
Am
i was just about to go
A# F
there were flowers on the ceiling
A#
you left me feeling

like a fading voice
like a closing door
like a dozen lies and a dozen more

like a twisted tongue
like distant bike
when we broke out into the dark

the stars looked like burning sparks
the lights were warm but chilling
you left me feeling

C Dm
tired
A# C
could not close my eyes
C Dm
on fire

A# C
but frozen inside
F A#
to run or to hide
C Dm A# C
speechless my words could not melt
C Dm A# C
whisper i wanted to shout
F A#
with out you i felt

like a fleeting thought
like a double eight
like a gentle fear of a warming taste

like a placid breath
like a cooling blow
when you stopped and held me close

inside i nearly froze
your touch is almost healing
you left me feeling

C Dm
tired
A# C
could not close my eyes
C Dm
on fire
A# C
but frozen inside
F A#
to run or to hide
C Dm A# C
speechless my words could not melt
C Dm A# C
whisper i wanted to shout
F A#
with out you i felt

C
like a setting sun
F
like a last goodbye
C F
like an incomplete lullaby
