My mother bought it secondhand
Bdim/A A
From a silent movie star
Asus2/C# Dsus2 D
It was out of tune but still I learned to play
F#m D
And with each note we both would smile
F#m C#m
Forgetting who we are
Dm E Asus4
And all the pain would simply fly away
D A
Something secondhand and broken
D A
Still can make a pretty sound
D/F# A/E B/D# C#/F
Even if it doesn't have a place to live
F#m A/E
Oh, the words were left unspoken
F#m/Eb Dm
When my Mama came around
A/C# Dm
But that Secondhand White Baby Grand
F#m E Asus2 A
Still had something beautiful to give
Bbsus2
Through missing keys and broken strings
Cdim/Bb Bb
The music was our own
Bbsus2/D Ebsus2 Eb
Until the day we said our last goodbyes
Gm Eb
The baby grand was sent away
Gm Dm
A child all alone
Ebm F Bb
To pray somebody else would realize
Eb Bb
That something secondhand and broken
Eb Bb
Still can make a pretty sound
Eb/G Bb/F C/E D/F#
Even if it doesn't have a place to live
Gm Bb/F
Oh, the words are still unspoken
Gm/E Ebm
Now that Mama's not around
Bb/D Ebm
But that Secondhand White Baby Grand
Gm F Bbsus2 Bb
Still has something beautiful to give
F#/Bb Bb
For many years the music had to roam
Dm E
Until we found a way to find a home
Asus2
So now I wake up every day
Bdim/A A
And see her standing there
Asus2/C# Dsus2 D
Just waiting for a partner to compose
F#m D
And I wish my mother still could hear
F#m C#m
That sound beyond compare
Dm E Asus4 A
I'll play her song till everybody knows
D A
That something secondhand and broken
D A
Still can make a pretty sound
D/F# A/E B/D# C#/F
Don't we all deserve a family room to live
F#m A/E
Oh, the words can't stay unspoken
F#m/Eb Dm
Until everyone has found
A/C# Dm
That Secondhand White Baby Grand
F#m Dm E Asus2 A
That still has something beautiful to give
Dm/F E A
I still have something beautiful to give
