[INTRO]
D5
[VERSE]
D A#6 Cadd9
I've used hammers made out of wood
C# D
I have played games with pieces and rules
A#6 Cadd9
I've deciphered tricks at the bar
C#
But now you're gone
D
I haven't figured out why
A#6
I've come up with riddles
Cadd9
And jokes about war
C# D
I've figured out numbers and what there for
A#6
I've understood feelings
Cadd9
And I've understood words
C#
But how could you be taken away
[CHORUS]
DM7 D5 DM7 D5 Dsus2 DM7
And where ever you've gone
DM7 D5 DM7 D5 D5 Bm
And where ever we might go
A
It don't seem fair Today just disappeared
DM7 D5 DM7 D5 Dsus2 DM7
Your lights reflected now
DM7 D5 DM7 D5 D5 Bm
Reflected from a far
A
We were but stones Your light made us stars
D A#6 Cadd9
D A#6
[VERSE]
D A#6
With heavy breath
Cadd9
Awakens regrets
C#
Back pages and days alone the could've been spent
D A#6 Cadd9
Together but we were miles apart
C#
Every inch between becomes light years now
D A#6
No time to be void
Cadd9
Or save up on life
C#
Uh you've got to spend it all
[CHORUS]
DM7 D5 DM7 D5 Dsus2 DM7
And where ever you've gone
DM7 D5 DM7 D5 D5 Bm
And where ever we might go
A
It don't seem fair You seemed to like it here
DM7 D5 DM7 D5 Dsus2 DM7
Your lights reflected now
DM7 D5 DM7 D5 D5 Bm
Reflected from a far
A
We were but stones
D
Your light made us stars

And where ever you've gone

And where ever we might go

It don't seem fair Today just disappeared
DM7 D5 DM7 D5 Dsus2 DM7
Your lights reflected now

Reflected from a far

We were but stones Your light made us stars
