C                        Em
My mom gave me her gold charm bracelet when
     Am              F
she left me on my own
 C                         Em
I can't remember what the charms were or the
Am              F
color of the stone
Gm                C
I still hate your father for sellin' what
     Em             Am
was never his to pawn


[Chorus 1]
Dm                      G
Maybe bein' human is an orphan condition and
       C                            Em
what's missin' isn't meant to be found
Dm                         G
Maybe movin' forward is my only ambition and
  C                      Am
I never let myself turn around


[Verse 2]
C                          Em       Am
I'm darin' to do what she couldn't bring
            F
herself to do
Gm                     C         Am
Isn't it just like a daughter to make a fool
    Em
of you?
 Gm                             C
And the fear that I feel when I see my
          G                              F
features reversed in my own daughter's face


[Chorus 2]
 Dm                     G
Maybe bein' human is an orphan condition and
        C                        Em
what's missin' isn't meant to be found
Dm                           G
Maybe movin' forward was my only ambition
      C                        Am
and I never let myself turn around


[Verse 3]
    C                      Em
I'm darin' to do what she couldn't do
Am                              F
Gonna stay and make different mistakes
Gm                     C         Am
Isn't it just like a daughter to throw it in
      Em
your face?


[Chorus 1]
Dm                      G
Maybe bein' human is an orphan condition and
       C                              Em
what's missin' isn't what should be found
 Dm                        G
Maybe movin' forward is my only ambition and
   C                      Am
I never let myself turn around
               C
I won't turn around
