it was the GstranDgest Emthing GtoDday
D7 D? G D
i saw new footprints in abandoned pathways
Em G D D7 D?
beneath forgotten undergrowth something stirring again
you were a GsinDgle Emred Gblood Dcell
D7 D? G D Em
but i lost you in this knot of capillaries
G D D7 D?
but you were bringing me oxygen when i needed it most in the
Amsmoke.
and you were always
Amas far as mongolia, as close as my clothes
Emyour presence pervading, but it still never shows
Gas close as the answer i never quite Gknow, or can’t quite remember
Amyour distance insidious, as soft as a blow
Emyour shadow is with me wherever i go
Git’s on the tip of my tongue but still i never quitGe know, or can’t quite remember
i don’t quite remember
--------------------------------
Verse two is the same as verse one.
--------------------------------
the forced proximity of a million different mike leigh movies
makes me long for the fresh air of a familiar face
and not the violence of loneliness, nor the unease of surrounded seclusion
i keep nearly missing you around corners and in passing trains
--------------------------------
The chorus is the same, cept the end, where it goes:
--------------------------------
Amyour distance insidious, as soft as a blow
Emyour shadow is with me wherever i go
Git’s on the tip of my tongue, it's on the tip of my-
-------------------------------

It's really hard to place the chords because some words are sung quickly
and some very slowly but you get the idea, hopefully :)
