Heirlooms Chords by Nina Nesbitt

Intro | D A | G D/F# |


D               A                  G  D/F#
 I know that you don't know me yet
D                A                 G  D/F#
 I know your name but not the rest
D                  A           G  D/F#
 Thought I was good on my own
         Em           D             G
 Then I found somebody and made him home


Em                D                G
You and me, we've still got far to go
      Em            D             G
But before we do, I wanted you to know


     Bm               A
That I hope you get my brown eyes
    G
And nothing from my darker side
Bm            A
How my mother cares too much
    G
The way my lover lifts me up
    Bm             A
And I know I'm not perfect, but
G
You can have the best I've got
Em               D
All the things I wanna give to you
G                                   D  A
 I'll pass them down like heirlooms
G                              D  A  G
 Pass them down like heirlooms


D               A            G    D
 I'll carry the weight of my past
D                      A           G
 But you won't have to bear any of that
D                   A                  G  D
 All my selfish ways and anxious heart
     Em                    D           G
I'll forget when I hold you in my arms


     Bm               A
That I hope you get my brown eyes
    G
And nothing from my darker side
Bm            A
How my mother cares too much
    G
The way my lover lifts me up
    Bm             A
And I know I'm not perfect, but

 I'll pass them down like heirlooms

 Pass them down like heirlooms


G
 I'll pass them down like heirlooms
D                 A               G
 All of the good, none of the bad, all of the lessons that I've ever had
 G
 Heirlooms
D                 A               G
 All of the good, none of the bad, all of the lessons that I've ever had

All the pieces that I've saved for you
