Beyond below above A gravity that slumbers

At the center of Places named after numbers

A different kind of love

She was right
 
A C#m
She was right there
 
A C#m D F
She was right there all the time
 
Am E
Collapsing all the way
 
And though it seems from here That she was never there
Light beams disappear Into her blackened hair
I wonder if they reappear
