Chords

Standard

G                              Dm/G
I wish that we could talk about it,
F                       C
But there, that's the problem.
G                              Dm/G
With someone new I could have started,
F                C
Too late, for beginnings.
G                                 Dm/G
The little things that made me harassed,
F                  C
Are gone, in a moment.
G                            Dm/G
I miss the way we used to argue,
F                   C
Locked, in your basement.

G                              Dm/G
I wake up and the phone is ringing,
F                     C
Surprised, as it's early.
G                              Dm/G
And that should be the perfect warning,
F                      C
That something's, a problem.
G                              Dm/G
To tell the truth I saw it coming,
F                     C
The way, you were breathing.
G                                 Dm/G
But nothing can prepare you for it,
F                          C
The voice, on the other, end.

G                              Dm/G
The worst is all the lovely weather,
F                   C
I'm sad, it's not raining.
G                        Dm/G
The coffee isn't even bitter,
F                    C
Because, what's the difference?
G                                       Dm/G
There's all the work that needs to be done,
F                  C
It's late, for revision.
G                                   Dm/G
There's all the time and all the planning,
F                    C
And songs, to be finished.

G
And it keeps coming,
Dm/G
And it keeps coming,
F
And it keeps coming, 
C
Till the day it stops
(Repeat x3)
G, Dm/G, F, C
And it keeps coming,
(Repeat x7)
Till the day it stops.

G                              Dm/G
I wish that we could talk about it,
F                      C
But there, that's the problem.
G                              Dm/G

F               C
Too late, for beginnings.
G                              Dm/G
You're smaller than my wife imagined,
F                     C
Surprised, you were human.
G                                 Dm/G
There shouldn't be this ring of silence,
F                     C
But what, are the options?

G                        Dm/G             F          C
When someone great is gone.
(Repeat x8)

         G              Dm/G  F          C
We're safe, for the moment.
G
Saved, 
           Dm/G   F             C
For the moment
