Dependable People And Things That I'm Sure Of
View chords used in this chart
A A7
I know that he loves me as I watch him leave
D Dm
I’d do anything at all to hear his voice call me
A A7
But now there’s a shadow where once stood a beam
D Dm
He’s searching for colour in a sepia scene
A E D
And the cold wind blows like my grip on a string
A E D7 Dm
That I held so close now he’s not listening, he’s not listening
A A7
But I can go out there, I can be someone else
D Dm
We all have the power to do this shit to ourselves
A A7
But in the quiet times, where nobody can see
D Dm
I’m letting my thoughts get bigger than me
A E D
And the cold wind blows and the spring never came
A E D7 Dm
And I feel so sick if I hear his name
A A7
Oh how he left me cause we went too far
D Dm
I looked at my body, I learnt how to drive a car
A A7
I had my family and I had my friends
D Dm
But oh, how I wanted to be with him again
A E D
And I know he’s somewhere that he wants to be
A E D7 Dm
And I only wish he wanted that with me
A A7
But I can run further than I could before
D Dm
And I can laugh louder, I can dance ’til I’m sore
A A7
Then in the morning, I can do it again
D Dm
I just have to keep moving, don’t ever stop moving
A A7
And all of this envy and all of this fear
D Dm
Will just be a memory of this shitty year
A E D
And I’m so much older than I want to be
A E D7 Dm
But there’s so much more if I take it easy
(A E D) (2x)
(Humming)
