[Verse 1]
[Am]Darling,
give me your [D]absence to[Am]night
[D]Take the shade from the[Am] canvas
and [D]leave me [Am]the white
[Dm]Let me sink in t[A]he silence
that [Dm]echoes in[A]side
And [Dm]don't bother [F]leav[Dm]ing the l[G]ight on
[Cm]'Cause I sudde[F]nly feel
[Cm]like a different [F]person
From the [Cm]roots of my [F]soul
come a [Cm]gentle coer[F]cion
And [Cm]I ran my [Eb]hand o'er
[Fsus4]a strange [Fm]in v[Db]er si[Eb]on
[Cm]A vacancy th[Bb]at jus[Cm]t
did [F]not [Fm]belong
[F]The child is gon[Cm]e[Fm][Cm][Fm][Bb]
[G]Honey help me [Cm]out of this mess
[Bbm]I'm a stra[Eb]nger to myself[Fm]
But don't [G]reach for [Fm]me, I'm too far [G]away
[Fdim]I don't [Fm]wanna talk '[G]cause
there's noth[Fm]ing left to say
[G]So my dar[D]ling,
[Am]give me your [D]absence to[Am]night
Take [D]all of your [Am]sympathy
and [D]leave it out[Am]side
[Dm]'Cause there's no kind of lovi[A]ng
that can [Dm]make this all [A]right
I'm [Dm]trying to find a place [F]I b[G]e long
[Cm]And I suddenly feel [F]like a
[Cm]different per[F]son
From the [Cm]roots of my [F]soul
come [Cm]a gentle coer[F]cion
And I [Cm]ran my hand o'er
[Fsus4]a strange [Cm]in v[Db]ersion[Eb]
As [Cm]the darkness turns [Bb]in
[Cm]to the d[F]awn[Fm]
[F]The child is gon[Cm]e[Fm]
The child [Cm]is gone
