ORIGAMI HEART 7/4/26

INTRO G C G C G C D2

VERSE1 G C G C G C D2 Laundry arms and cards are folded A future that I can’t behold yet Can’t see beyond the life I know I’m in Lemons, bread, & friendships molded What I once was is now corroded Looking for a way to start again

CHORUS Em F C G/B Reach forward to what’s new Em F C D Fold down inside of you Em F C G/B Open up, see what’s true Am F C G Origami heart

VERSE 2 G C G C G C D2 Crumpled pages wrinkled and sordid Risk that I cannot afford yet Untold stories wait past the arc Dog-eared books with spines all broken I once thought life was wide and open Wayward creases run across my heart

CHORUS

BRIDGE Am C G One step at a time, we walk one step at a time, can I begin again, Am will I begin again? 3× Am C D One step at a time, we walk one step at a time, can I begin again, D will I begin again?

REPEAT CHORUS with glorious three part harmonies
