_ _ [C] Red is [G] my favorite [F] color, red [Am] like your mother's [F] eyes
[G] After a [C] while of crying [G] about how [Am] you don't love her
She _ _ _ [F] says, I know I don't [C] deserve _ supervised sight [G] of her
But each day becomes a blur without [F] my _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [Am] daughter _
Fall _ _ _ [C] _ is my favorite [F] season, like [Am] falling to reasoning why
You [G] crash from on high, [C] she says, [G] why is my life so [Am] uneven? _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] And what have I [C] done right, but given you [G] your life
And after I let you on [F] into that _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [Am]
ballroom
_ _ _ _ [F] Into that _ _ [G] ballroom

_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] Yes [G] is my [F] favorite answer, I [Am] took a dancer [F] home
She felt [G] so [C] alone, we stayed [G] up all [F] night in the kitchen
_ [Am] Doing my dishes [F] long, and [G] until the dawn
She said, I know it's [Am] easy to have me
But _
_ _ [F] _ I have seen [G] some things that I cannot even tell to my [Am] family pictures
And I'm full [F] of fictions and fucking [G] addictions and [C] I miss my mother
_ And _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I don't know I [G] could never [F] forget her
If I could write [Am] her a letter I'd try
[F] With [G] every line to [C] say she still [G] remembers [Am] your touch
_ _ _ _ _ And I know that it's [G] not much
_ [C] I know [G] that it's [F] not much
_ [Am] I know that it's [G] not much
But you still [C] haven't lost her
_ _ Still haven't _
[G] _ [F] lost _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ her
Still [C] haven't _
[G] _ [F] lost _ [C] _ _ [G] _
her
You still haven't
