[Intro]
D C G  x4


[Verse 1]
D
  Mother wakes up the
G             D
kids one at a time
                    A
She says pack a few things
                          D
we’re getting out of this town
                        G
I want to see you break free
                     D
I want to see you succeed
                       A
I want to prove to you life
         A
can be a beautiful thing


[Refrain 1]
Em G D
      Silently down the stairs
Em G D
      Coats and shoes waiting there
     Em                G
Mom smiles through the window
       G             A
as she breaks up the ice


[Chorus 1]
D                             A/C#
  With your past in the mirror
Bm             G
  tell me where I’ll be there
D                             A/C#
  With your past in the mirror
Bm             G
  tell me where I’ll be there


[Instrumental]
D C G  x2


[Verse 2]
D                      G
  Brother takes it all in
                      D
Landscapes he’s never seen
                          A/C#
Sister sleeps on his shoulder
                       D
and dreams of far away things
                          G
Mother’s heart beats like rain
                      D
pounding on the thick glass
                       A
She’s steady confident brave
           A
A peaceful moment at last


[Refrain 2]
Em G D
      Mom searches for the words
Em G D
      The perfect nouns and verbs
     Em           G
They race for the time zone
        G           A
They’re three days away


[Chorus 2]
D                             A/C#
  With your past in the mirror
Bm             G
  tell me where I’ll be there
D                             A/C#
  With your past in the mirror
Bm             G
  tell me where I’ll be there

[Verse 3]

  Mother wakes up the
G             D

She says open your eyes


[Chorus 3]
D                             A/C#
  With your past in the mirror
Bm             G
  tell me where I’ll be there
D                             A/C#
  With your past in the mirror

  tell me where I’ll be there
