Absence Of You

[Am7] [Bm7] [Gmaj7]

[Am7] [Bm7] [Gmaj7]

 

Maybe I'm [Am7]learning to [Bm7]love you less [Gmaj7]

you said your good [Am7]

byes but I [Bm7]haven't said mine yet [Gmaj7]

I [Am7]lay down in the [Bm7]fires

and [E9]watched it turn blue [Gmaj7]

as the [Am7]cinders fill with [Abmaj7]memories of you [Gmaj7]

 

But I'm okay [Cmaj7]now

Finally [Bm7]figured you out

My [Cmaj7]rosy eyes are [C#m7b5]tired so I'll

[Dsus]close them for now [D]

 

And be on my [Cmaj7]way

oh to [Bm7]paradise [Bbm7]

There's a [Am7]world away that's waiting for me [Gmaj7]

waves always [Cmaj7]break

when you're [Bm7]on my mind [Bbm7]

now the [Am7]absence of you sets me free [Gmaj7]

 

You leave me [Am7]notes

around the [Bm7]house and gone [Gmaj7]

said things like I'm [Am7]out of

your [Bm7]league don't wait up [Gmaj7]

I [Am7]let you keep your [Bm7]

distance but I [E9]hated [Ddim]keepin [Cmaj7]mine

If you [Am7]loved me you [Abmaj7]

would learn to compromise [Gmaj7]

 

But I'm okay [Cmaj7]now

Finally [Bm7]figured you out

My [Cmaj7]rosy eyes are [C#m7b5]tired so I'll

 

close them for [D]now

 

And be on my [Cmaj7]way

oh to [Bm7]paradise [Bbm7]

to a [Am7]world away that's waiting for me [Gmaj7]

waves always [Cmaj7]break

when you're [Bm7]on my mind [Bbm7]

now the [Am7]absence of you [Abmaj7]sets me free [Gmaj7]

 

And I'm on my [Cmaj7]way

oh to [Bm7]paradise [Bbm7]

to a [Am7]world away that's waiting for me [Gmaj7]

waves always [Cmaj7]break

when you're [Bm7]on my mind [Bbm7]

now the [Am7]absence of you

[Abmaj7]sets me free [Gmaj7]

now the [Am7]absence of you [Abmaj7]sets me free [Gmaj7]

now the [Am7]absence of you

[Abmaj7]sets

[Gmaj7]me free
