Absence Of You

[Am7] [Bm7] [Gmaj7]
[Am7] [Bm7] [Gmaj7]

Maybe I'm [Am7]learning to [Bm7]love you less [Gmaj7]
you said your good [Am7]
byes but I [Bm7]haven't said mine yet [Gmaj7]
I [Am7]lay down in the [Bm7]fires
and [E9]watched it turn blue [Gmaj7]
as the [Am7]cinders fill with [Abmaj7]memories of you [Gmaj7]

But I'm okay [Cmaj7]now
Finally [Bm7]figured you out
My [Cmaj7]rosy eyes are [C#m7b5]tired so I'll
[Dsus]close them for now [D]

And be on my [Cmaj7]way
oh to [Bm7]paradise [Bbm7]
There's a [Am7]world away that's waiting for me [Gmaj7]
waves always [Cmaj7]break
when you're [Bm7]on my mind [Bbm7]
now the [Am7]absence of you sets me free [Gmaj7]

You leave me [Am7]notes
around the [Bm7]house and gone [Gmaj7]
said things like I'm [Am7]out of
your [Bm7]league don't wait up [Gmaj7]
I [Am7]let you keep your [Bm7]
distance but I [E9]hated [Ddim]keepin [Cmaj7]mine
If you [Am7]loved me you [Abmaj7]
would learn to compromise [Gmaj7]

But I'm okay [Cmaj7]now
Finally [Bm7]figured you out
My [Cmaj7]rosy eyes are [C#m7b5]tired so I'll

close them for [D]now

And be on my [Cmaj7]way
oh to [Bm7]paradise [Bbm7]
to a [Am7]world away that's waiting for me [Gmaj7]
waves always [Cmaj7]break
when you're [Bm7]on my mind [Bbm7]
now the [Am7]absence of you [Abmaj7]sets me free [Gmaj7]

And I'm on my [Cmaj7]way
oh to [Bm7]paradise [Bbm7]
to a [Am7]world away that's waiting for me [Gmaj7]
waves always [Cmaj7]break
when you're [Bm7]on my mind [Bbm7]
now the [Am7]absence of you
[Abmaj7]sets me free [Gmaj7]
now the [Am7]absence of you [Abmaj7]sets me free [Gmaj7]
now the [Am7]absence of you
[Abmaj7]sets
[Gmaj7]me free
