[Verse 1]
[G]It was the strangest [D]thi[Bm]ng tod[D]ay
[A]I saw new footprints in
abandoned path[G]ways
[Bm]Beneath forg[D]otten unde[A]rgrowth
something stirring again
[G]You were [Em]a single [Bm]red [D]blood [A]cell
But I lost you in this knot of capil[G]laries
[Bm]But you were bring[D]ing me oxyge[A]n

[Em]
And you were always
As far as Mongolia,
as close as my [Bm]clothes
Your presence pervading,
but it [Em]still never [D]shows
As close as the answer I never quite [G]know,
or I don't quite remember
[Em]Your distance insidious, as soft as a blow

as close as my [Bm]clothes
Your presence pervading,
but it [Em]still never [D]shows
As close as the answer I never quite [G]know,
or don't quite remember
[Em]Your distance insidious,
as soft as a blow
[Bm]Your shadow is with me where[Em]ver I go[D]
On the tip of my tongue, it's
