Intro
C Em F C G
Verse 1
C
Thought I'd become a better bolder version of myself
Em
The second that I started packing bags for Nashville
F
But I hope I never change, oh I'm still a little girl
C
With messy curls, messy curls
C
Thought moving out would drown it out if I had some distance
Em
From the weight of all the doubt and always feeling unwanted
F
But I hope I never change, oh I'll keep shutting it out
C
Remind myself, remind myself
Chorus
C Em7
That I'm a reincarnate of my mother's beauty
F
And every other woman come before me
G
If my parents and grandparents were adored
C
Then somebody has loved my face before
Verse 2
C
I'm more than teenage boys and all the noise I let them have
Em7
I'm less spoken than my mom's side, but I'm louder than my dad's
Fmaj7
I'm a product of it all; oh it's all ancestral
C G
As I recall, I recall
Chorus
C Em7
That I'm a reincarnate of my mother's beauty
Fmaj7
And every other woman come before me
G
If my parents and grandparents were adored
C
Then somebody has loved my face before
Em7
I'll trace my imperfections in the mirror
Fmaj7
Forgetting this whole reason why I'm here
G
And if all my features took centuries of shaping
C
Then I was generations in the making
Post Chorus
Em7
I was generations in the making
Fmaj7
All my features took centuries of shaping
G
I was generations in the making
Bridge
C
I have my fathers eyes and my grandmothers curls
Em7
My mother looked just like me when she was a teenage girl
Fmaj7
And I'm sure that I'll love someday, 'cause it's somehow guaranteed
G
As my predecessors found their paths in love before me
Chorus
C Em7
I'm a reincarnate of my mother's beauty
Fmaj7
And every other woman come before me
G
If my parents and grandparents were adored
C
Then somebody has loved my face before
Em7
I'm living proof of other people's lives
Fmaj7
I am every lover amplified
G
And if all my features took generations of shaping
C
Then I was generations in the making
Outro
Em7
I was generations in the making
Fmaj7
All my features took centuries of shaping
G C
I was generations in the making
