[Intro 1]
[Csus2][C][Csus2][G][Csus2][C][F][C][G][C]
[Dm][C][F][G]
[C][Csus2][Dm][C]
[Em][C][F][G]

[Verse 1]
I don't know [C]if it was real or in a [Dm]dream[D]
Lately [Am]wak ing up [C]I'm not sure
where I've [F]been[G]
There was [C]a table set for six
[G]and five [C]were the[G]re[Dm]
I stood [A]out[C]side and kept my eyes
upon that [F]empty [G]chair
And there was [C]steam on the [F]win[C]dows
from the kit[F]chen[Dm]
[C]Laughter [Em]like a language[C] I
once [F]spoke with ease
[C]But I'm made mute by
the virtue of de[Dm]cision
And I choose [Em]most of [C]your life
goes on [F]without [G]me
[D]Oh the fear I've [F]known
That I might [C]reap the praise
[A]of strangers
And en[Dm]d up on my own[G]
[D]All I've sown was [F]a song
But [G]maybe I was wrong

[Interlude 1]
[C][Dm][F][C][F][C][F]

[Verse 2]
[G]I said to you[C] the one gift
which I'd [Am]ad o[Dm]re
The [F]package of the [Em]nex t[C]
10 years un[F]folding[G]
But you told [C]me if I had my way
I'd be [Am]bored[Dm][F]
Right [Dm]then I [F]knew [C]I loved you
best born of your [F]scolding
[G]When we last [C]talked we were
lying on [Dm]our backs
[F]Loo[C]king at the[F] sky
through [G]the ceiling
I used to [C]lie like that alone out
on [Dm]the drive[F]way
Trying to [C]read the Greek upon the stars
The [F]alphabet of [G]feeling
[D]Oh I [F#dim]knew back then[F]
It was a [C]calling that [A]said if
[Dm]joy then p[G]ain
[D]The sound of the voice
these [F]years [G]later

[Interlude 2]
Is still the same
[C][Dm][C][F][Dm][C][F][G]
[F#dim][D][F][C][A][Dm]
[G][D][F][G]
I am [C]alone

[Verse 3]
in a hotel room tonight
I squeeze [Dm]the sky out but
[C]there's not a star ap[Am]pears
[F]Beg[C]in my studies with this
paper and this [F]pen[C]cil
And I'm working [Dm]through [C]the
grammar of my [Am]fears[F][C][Dm][D]
Oh mercy what I [F]won't give
To have [C]the things that
mean [A]the most
Not [Dm]to mean the things I [G]miss
[D]Un forgiving the choice still [F]is
The [G]language or the kiss
[C]

[Outro 1]
[C][D][Dm][C][F][G]
