Smash - Second Hand White Baby Grand

Asus2
my mother bought it secondhand
Bdim/A A
from a silent movie star
Asus2/C# Dsus2 D
it was out of tune but still i learned to play
F#m D
and with each note we both would smile
F#m C#m
forgetting who we are
Dm E Asus4
and all the pain would simply fly away

D A
something secondhand and broken
D A
still can make a pretty sound
D/F# A/E B/D# C#/F
even if it doesn’t have a place to live
F#m A/E
oh , the words were left unspoken
F#m/D# Dm
when my mama came around
A/C# Dm
but that secondhand white baby grand
F#m E Asus2 A
still had something beautiful to give

A#sus2
through missing keys and broken strings
Cdim/A# A#
the music was our own
A#sus2/D D#sus2 D#
until the day we said our last goodbyes
Gm D#
the baby grand was sent away
Gm Dm
a child all alone
D#m F A#
to pray somebody else would realize

D# A#
that something secondhand and broken
D# A#
still can make a pretty sound
D#/G A#/F C/E D/F#
even if it doesn’t have a place to live
Gm A#/F
oh , the words are still unspoken
Gm/E D#m
now that mama’s not around
A#/D D#m
but that secondhand white baby grand
Gm F A#sus2 A#
still has something beautiful to give

F#/A# A#
for many years the music had to roam
Dm E
until we found a way to find a home

Asus2
so now i wake up every day
Bdim/A A
and see her standing there
Asus2/C# Dsus2 D
just waiting for a partner to compose
F#m D
and i wish my mother still could hear
F#m C#m
that sound beyond compare
Dm E Asus4 A
i’ll play her song till everybody knows

D A
that something secondhand and broken
D A
still can make a pretty sound
D/F# A/E B/D# C#/F
don’t we all deserve a family room to live
F#m A/E
oh , the words can’t stay unspoken
F#m/D# Dm
until everyone has found

A/C# Dm
that secondhand white baby grand
F#m Dm E Asus2 A
that still has something beautiful to give
Dm/F E A
i still have something beautiful to give
