Vere Her Chords by Sigrid Moldestad

[F#] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I want to be here, [Em] I want to be [C] here for a long [Am] time
So [G] I can see how far [F] it goes _
And [Am] I want to follow you, [G] I want to hold you in [C] my [Am] hands
So you find [G] _ _
my [Am] dear child
_ But [F] life is not like that, we never get to [C] see
How far [G] it goes, _ how [Am] far it goes
_ _ So [F] I say now, I want to be [C] a friend
Who is [G] blessed by your face _ and in the fjord [Am] you find
Trust _ _ _ _ _ _ how far you want to go
[G] When you [C] get old, you will [G] need me then
When you are [F] two years old, _ _ [Am] we are light in a night
There is room, [C] there is you, you are a [G] new school
You will be mother and [Am] grandmother _
But [F] life is not like that, we never get [C] to see
_ How far [G] it goes, _ how [Am] far it goes _ _
So [F] I say now, I [C] want to be a friend
_ Who [G] is blessed by your face _ and in the fjord you [Am] find
_ _ _ _ [Dm] [Am] No _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ [Am] day _ [C] _ _
_ [F] has come [C] back, all this _ [G] time
[F] We have lived and [C] died in a piece of land
[G] _ [F] That we are not always [Am] sleeping here above
[F] But that there are [C] other promises
[D] So you hear me when you need [E] me and I run to you
[Bm] Then it will be a fjord, then [D] I will be a king like [Em] before _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] But life [C] is not like that, we never get to see
How far [G] it goes, _ how [Am] far it goes
_ [F] Sometimes I walk and see on a [C] fjord that I find
I get a kiss [G] from a friend _ who is [Am] blessed by your face
[F] But life is not like that, we [C] never get to see
How far [G] it goes, _ how far [Am] it goes _
[F] Sometimes I walk and see on a [C] fjord that I find
I get a [G] kiss from a friend who is blessed by [Am] your face _ _ _ _ _
