Human Child - Belly Chords

Chords: G, Csus2, Dsus4, C, D, Em

More chords by Belly

Genre: indie rock, folk, experimental


Every chord lasts one measure. In the outro, lyrics in parenthesis

are background vocals that you can sing if you wish, or ignore if you

are just singing Tanya's part. (The background vocals repeat through

most of the outro, even as Tanya sings, so I only included the ones

that don't overlap with Tanya's vocals.)

[Intro]
G G Csus2 Csus2
G G Csus2 Csus2
Dsus4 Dsus4

[Verse]
G G G
We hold life tight to our chest, slip it on like a dress
C C
We're oh so faithfully possessed
G G G
We let ourselves be owned by things long gone
C C
Old photographs, old songs wrap us in gauze

[Pre-Chorus]
D C
Oh human child
G D
Your face to the wind, your back to the sun
D C
Oh human child
G D
You're digging up bones and miss all the fun

[Chorus]
G C G D
I'm not here to save you I'm just tryin' to get you outside
G C G D
Get yourself out of your way and pull your head out of the shade

[Verse]
G G G
A bird takes off into above, we follow with our eyes but
C C
never grab hold, never own it
G G G
That's as it should be, as it was and ever will be so
