The Vanishing Act Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Em][Am]
[Em][Am]
Were [Em]you surprised

[Verse 1]
[Am]
that we never spoke?
Then in the still of the night when nothing stirs
I woke and I gathered up some clothes
I never planned on this but
it's the [Dm]way it goes
[Am]And now it all seems

[Verse 2]
so familiar like
pages turned on calendars
We get the same twelve months to fuck
things up-year after after year
And I can't believe how down I am like
the well I'm being lowered in
Now water stops,
the bucket drops us farther and farther down
Farther [Dm]and farther [Am]down

[Verse 3]
[Am]
Well, I guess [D]that [F#]you never knew [F#m]me[F#]
Or [Dm]at least not well enough
So [Am]I fill my gut with the dark red wine
Until my brain shuts off and
my eyes go blind

[Verse 4]
You won't [Am]see me there in that thick black air,
yeah
I'll finally make something
dis[Ebm]appear
[Am]'Cause I've been practicing
[F#]dis appearing
And I [Dm]think that I've got it down

[Verse 5]
[Am]Now there is no sun it's just a cellar
Nowhere is sky it's just that black[Dm],
black [Am]dirt
Now there is no sun it's
just [Dm]a cellar
[Am]Nowhere is sky it's just that black,

[Verse 6]
black dirt
[Am]Expanding outwards just
echoes [Dm]for ans[Am]wers
Not that it matters if its back
or its forwards
Unhappy lovers with baskets of flowers
Use them as markers

[Verse 7]
[Dm]The place where your bed
once [Am]stood
A time when it still felt [Dm]good
But [Ebm]you'll get that feel[F#]ing [Ebm]back
[Am]You [Dm]just need sometime to think

[Verse 8]
Into [Am]out of the hell,
getting straight in your mind
But you calculate cause,
let me take some time
But [Ebm]I'm sure you get to feelin' bet[Am]ter
[Em]And I [Dm]just need some time to drink
So [Am]I'll fill

[Verse 9]
my gut with that blood red wine
Until my insides swim and my veins unwind
I'll be lying there in that hot white air
Once that something's gone it
might [Dm]nev [Am]er re[Dm]appear
[Am]It might never

[Verse 10]
re[Ebm]appear[Am]
It might never reappear
[Ebm]It mig[Am]ht never reappea[Em]r
[Ebm]

[Outro 1]
[Am]
