You're Not There
View chords used in this chart
A
Pour words over me
and all around the ripples
rock the boat
I favour entropy
a slow decline before I
have to go
F#m
Don't take it out on me
E
it's just revenge and you're
the instrument
A
Your actions guarantee
F#m
an end to this but
E D
will you ever know
A
A
And I walk home
E
as the sun goes down
F#m D
and listen for your voice
F#m E
But you're not there to call me
I forget sometimes
A
In the aftermath
F#m
I fall through stages fitting
E
more of grief
A
Unrehearsed they seem
F#m
to stutter past a shuffled
E
deck unsheathed
F#m
Acceptance bows to discontent
E
a sense of mourning
troubles me
A
Quick anger rears it's head
F#m E
and settles down replaced by
D
disbelief
A
And I walk home
E
as the sun goes down
F#m D
and listen for your voice
F#m E
But you're not there to call me
