CAPO I

[Interlude]

G C

F Em D

G C

F Em D

[Verse 1]

G C

I go out to find

F Em D

The one with whom I've seen all hour's moons

G C

Once the curtains lifted

F Em D

And he said "I will swim to you"

[Verse 2]

G C

Language is such a play

F Em D

He called his exit, but his eyes are irresolute

G C

What pasts still sit today?

F Em D

I feel I'm walking around in blue

[Interlude]

C G Bb

[Chorus]

He can hear me sing

G Bb Am

He can hear me sing though he is far

Em D

I'll never lose sight of him. He turned

to me then he

G Bb Am

looked away, a silhouette, a silhouette

Em D

Still returns to me

[Verse 3]

G C

I'll hand him his coat

F Em D

It's exactly where he left it long ago

G C

We'll fall all over floorboards

F Em D

I lose my breath just envisioning the scene

[Verse 4]

G C

Mysteries that wake up late

F Em D

The table's set and the painting of his face

G C

No time to hesitate

F Em D

I cede all my love and play your abandoned fool

[Outro]
