City and Colour - The lonely life

^Em What if I did not love you? ^Cmaj7Where would that leave me? ^Em Would I wander through the avenues under a ^Cmaj7pall of misery? ^Em Would I be face down in a gutter with ch^Cmaj7eap whiskey on my breath? ^Em The lonely life of a writer whose ^Cmaj7words could not pay his debts

Saying^Em please don't, p^Cmaj7lease don't pass me b^Gy ^D/F# I am al^Emive, oh can't you se^Cmaj7e that I've been bl^Ginded complete^D/F#ly ^Em Please don't, p^Cmaj7lease don't pass me b^Gy ^D/F# I am a^Emlive, oh can't you se^Cmaj7e that I am pl^Geading for your mer^D/F#cy

^Em What if we became strangers? Would you^Cmaj7 notice my face in a crowd? ^Em And could you hear the sorrow in my voice Helplessly ^Cmaj7crying your name out loud? ^Em Would I be searching for a saviour, ^Cmaj7burned and burning with regret? ^Em The lonely life of a writer with ^Cmaj7one last desperate request

Saying^Em please don't, p^Cmaj7lease don't pass me b^Gy ^D/F# I am al^Emive, oh can't you se^Cmaj7e that I've been bl^Ginded complete^D/F#ly ^Em Please don't, p^Cmaj7lease don't pass me b^Gy ^D/F# I am a^Emlive, oh can't you se^Cmaj7e that I am pl^Geading for your mer^D/F#cy

^D I've been on the la^Amm, being h^Gunted something f^Emierce ^Am They say time and tide it waits for n^D/F#o man But I was just ^Amhoping these storm filled skies would cl^Cear

^Em Please don't, p^Cmaj7lease don't pass me b^Gy (please don't p^D/F#lease don't pass me by) ^Em Please don't, p^Cmaj7lease don't pass me b^Gy (please don't p^D/F#lease don't pass me by) ^Em Please don't, p^Cmaj7lease don't pass me b^Gy ^D/F# I am a^Emlive, oh can't you se^Cmaj7e that I am pl^Geading for your mer^D/F#cy ^Em
