        C                                 G/BAnd the dress she wore to her high school dance
    G                       C         FNow wrapped at night in its patchwork scenes

     C               FLike Grandma's pump: reduced to rust,
      F                 CTheir stories quench my soul and mind
     G                      CLike water from another time
