INTRO: What’s in parentheses is what’s actually being played, but leaving it out sounds
too. If it’s too confusing just pretend the parentheses aren’t there.
C (Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 C) Am (A5 Am A5 Am)
Verse 1:
C (Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 C) Am
Laid our blessings on the ground
(A5 Am A5 Am) C
The softening of sound
(Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 C) Am (A5 Am A5 Am)
Draws us closed again
C (Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 C) Am
Stay, stay and watch the coals
(A5 Am A5 Am) C
till they cease to glow
(Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 C) Am (A5 Am A5 Am)
like empty promises

CWhyG, Why did yoFu go, why did you gCo awGay?
CWhyG, Why did yoFu go, why did you gCo awGay?
CBaby?
C Cmaj7 Am A5
VERSE 2: (Remember Verse 1’s parentheses)
CThere's nothing I can sAmay
Nothing I can dCo
To bring you back agAmain
CThis of life I know is tAmrue

CWhyG, Why did yoFu go, why did you gCo awGay?

AmDon't you caCre
