Dido - Quiet Times
Capo on 1st fret
GAsk me where I go tonight I go back to today last Emyear. 
GMe and you had to make each other happier, now there's hope with everytEmhing.
GIt's hard enough to feel the world as it is and hold on anyEmthing. 
CWithout these quiet times you've brought round Ghere.
GI'm Gonna have to run away, I'm sure that I belong some other Emplace. 
GI've seen another side of all I've seen it keeps me wondering where my Emfamily is.
GIt's hard enough to feel the world as it is and hold on anyEmthing. 
CWithout these quiet times coming round Ghere.
Now I Gmiss you...
Now I Emwant you...
But I can't Chave you...
Even when your Ghere...
GSuppose I have to take you with me, broken mind I'd rather leave you Emhere. 
GTo forget everything you've seen and known erase every Emidea.
GAnd you walk up in the street, and hold my hand and Emsmile. 
Well I won't be taken Cin, cus I know how it turns Gout. 
And it takes me back Cto these quiet times coming round Ghere.
Now I Gmiss you...
Now I Emwant you....
Your not Ccoming back...
And I Gneed you...
But I can't Chave you...
Even when your Ghere...
Now I Gmiss you...
Now I Emwant you....
Your not Ccoming back...
And I Gneed you...
But I can't Chave you...
Even when your Ghere...
