Glitter

C G Em D

[Verse 1]
          G              Em
string of lights, on the door
        C
welcome back to your life
G                     D
this is worth living for
         Em              C
there's so much left in store

        G
And we don’t
         Em
Get to choose
C
Who we get to love
   G                      D
Or who it is we’re gonna lose
         Em                  C
Or what breaks our heart in two

[Pre-Chorus]
        D                      Em 
But no one really dies if the love
           C
 remains
        D                        
Cause nothing that dies really 
Em            C
goes away

[Chorus]
C                G
See grief it’s just like glitter
Em            D
It’s hard to brush away
C                 G
Bright light and it still shimmers
Em           D
Like it was yesterday
        C
And if falls like confetti
G                       Em       
All of the memories explode like 
            D
a hand grenade
Continues after the ad
Remove ads
          C
And it’s sweet and it’s bitter
G
Grief it’s like glitter
Em                 D
Oh what a mess it makes
C
What a mess it makes

G Em D

[Verse 2]
     D               Em
Past denial and the rage
       C             G            
The what if and the praying on the
          D
 hardest days
     Em                     C
You accept what you can’t change

[Pre-Chorus]
        D                      Em 
But no one really dies if the love
           C
 remains
        D                        
Cause nothing that dies really 
Em            C
goes away

[Chorus]
C                G
See grief it’s just like glitter
Em            D
It’s hard to brush away
C                 G
Bright light and it still shimmers
Em           D
Like it was yesterday
        C
And if falls like confetti
G                       Em       
All of the memories explode like 
            D
a hand grenade
          C
And it’s sweet and it’s bitter
G
Grief it’s like glitter
Em                 D
Oh what a mess it makes
C
What a mess it makes

C                 G
I think life’s a party
Em                      D
Something you should celebrate
C                  G
Some people leave early
D                    D
And others get to stay
      Em                        B
And hearts they burst like fireworks
        D            C
At the end of the parade

C                G
See grief it’s just like glitter
Em            D
It’s hard to brush away
C                 G
Bright light and it still shimmers
Em           D
Like it was yesterday
        C
And if falls like confetti
G                       Em       
All of the memories explode like 
            D
a hand grenade
          C
And it’s sweet and it’s bitter
G
Grief it’s like glitter
Em                 D
Oh what a mess it makes
C              G
What a mess it makes
