[Verse 1]
       C          G F
In the ground, we bury
    Am         C    F
The seeds of a pear tree
            C         G  F
And all the things we carried
          Am          G    F
Now we're down to our bare feet


[Chorus]
                C                G     F
May I have this dance to make it up to you?
                    Am       G    F
Can I say something crazy? I love you
                  C                G     F
Give me both your hands to make it up to you
       Am         G    F
Let me spin and excite you


[Verse 2]
       C          G  F
We are bound to inherit
    Am          C  F
The sins of our parents
            C         G      F
And all the people we passed through
          Am          G    F
Now we're down to the last two


[Chorus]
                C                G     F
May I have this dance to make it up to you?
                    Am       G    F
Can I say something crazy? I love you
                  C                G     F
Give me both your hands to make it up to you
       Am         G    F
Let me spin and excite you

                C                G     F
May I have this dance to make it up to you?
                    Am       G    F
Can I say something crazy? I love you
                 C
Give me one more chance
                 G
Give me one more chance
                 F
Give me one more
       Am         G    F
Let me spin and excite you


[Bridge]
C         G    F
You've got your
                   Am
Your mother's eyes
          G    F
You've got your
F
Grandmother's ring
C          G    F
You've got your daddy's discernment
Am        G        F
Girl, you did your thing


[Bridge]
C         G    F
You've got your
                   Am
Your mother's eyes
          G    F
You've got your
F
Grandmother's ring
C          G    F
You've got your daddy's discernment
Am        G        F
Girl, you did your thing
