C Dm
I heard that you're moving away
G F G Dm Em Dm
Fumbled in my pockets for a final word
F C
And I tell you 'Don't be late'
C F C
Smile when you tell me you wont
C F Dm
Shuffle your feet and you don't
G F G Dm Em Dm
Want to read between the air of silence
F C
Then the rain begins
Dm
I don't want to love you
F
I want to learn you
C
But I'd love to know you well
C Dm
So long to your family home
G F G Dm Em Dm
I wonder if you'll ever get that feeling back?
F C
Your family home
C F C
Covered my eyes with your hands
C F Dm
Walked me through all of your plans
G F
I told you I could see it all
G Dm Em Dm
But all I saw was you
F C
Through the space in your fingers
Dm
I don't want to love you
F
I want to learn you
C
But I'd love to know you well
C Dm
You say all the people you know
G F G Dm Em Dm
All are slowly dying from a silent cause
F C
From their quiet desperation
C F C
I walk you home in the rain
C F Dm
Pass by the yellow line train
G F G Dm Em Dm
Thought that I was different when you looked at me
F C G
But this quiet desperation is killing me too
C
Killing me too
Dm
I don't want to love you
F
I want to learn you
C
But I'd love to know you well
