3/5 of Nothing Here is Permanent done. Petrichor next?
[Verse 1]
EbSmilBbe as if the wGmhole world came to Fsee you
EbTry as I Bbmight
I’ll never underGmstand just what you’ve Fbeen through
EbTimBbe, will cGmarry you home while Fleaving me to fEbind (LeBbaving me to find)
Gmpieces of a lFife you’ve left behindBb  
[Chorus]
EbCaught myself Bbshaking on the floor
GmUnsure of the tFhoughts I can’t ignore
EbNo pleaseBb, don’t leave
                        Gm               F  Eb*
There's still so much for you to see here
[Verse 2]
EbFeel as of Bblate I’m making progreGmss
Tell myself to listen Fmore and maybe talk less
EbAnd keep in mind that every Bblife is just a process
GmTake it in strides (take it in sFtride)
Maybe small steps?Eb  Bb  
What is loss to Gmyou, what is Floss to you my friend
Eb(Second guessing how you’re Bbleaving) What is loss to you
Gm(I find it harder now to Fbreathe in)
[Chorus]
EbCaught myself sBbhaking on the floor
GmUnsure of the tFhoughts I can’t ignore
EbNo pleaseBb, don’t leave
There's Gmstill so much for Fyou to see hereBb  
I Ebam qGmuestioning most Feverything I haBbveEb  
GmJust know Fthat I’ll be alright
 Eb   Bb   Gm   Fx2
 Bb(strum for 2 counts) Gm F x4
[Bridge/Outro]
BbThough our Eblives can seem so Gmmakeshift
And though the Frope can feel so fBbrayed
I’ll reEbmember every Gmword you said
Like it was Fonly yesterdBbay (I am so scared without you here)
Though our Eblives can seem so Gmmakeshift
And though the rFope can feel so fraBbyed
I’ll reEbmember every Gmword you said

Like it was only yesterday (I am so scared without you here)
