_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Fm] I've been searching _ [F] all the _ corners _ _ [G] of my _ _ room, [Db] _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] sweeping dust and [Cm] memories [Dm] _ _ beneath [Am] the
carpet _ _ _ [Dbm] that we _ [E] purchased [Gm] _ _ somewhere on some [Gb] cool retreat _ _ [Eb] somewhere [Gm] in Africa [Am] somewhere.
_ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I've been [F] trying to catch my breath _ from the [Bm] illusion _ _ [Ab] that I lost it _ _ when you [Bm] left _ me.
_ _ [Gbm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ I've been [C] checking for the [F] weather _ _ _ _ and the [G] _
time.
[Fm] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
I'm like a [Dm] bag that's dropped and [B] drifting
[F] _ _ in the wind that [Bb] _
blows [Am] from hurricanes [Abm] that come just after [Gm] gray [D] clouds _ [Gb] fill [Eb] my _ eye.
[Gm] _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _
I've [F] been trying _ to find [Am] my footing on [Dm] the slopes [Bbm] of the illusion [Am] _ [E] that I lost it _ when you left _ [D] me. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Like [F] bare feet [C] on hot concrete _ _ we have [Gm] come [Bbm] to some [Dm] division _ based on pain [Gbm] from bad [Dm] decisions
_ _ [Fm] just _ [Gm] like clothes pins [Am] snapped by wild winds _ sometimes you can't hold on to _ love that never _ [G] dies.
[A] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [G] _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Fm] _ _ _ I've been [C] planting all the flowers _ that you like
[Dm] _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _
[F] with the hope that we'll take [Eb] root _ _ and [Am] smell the blossoms _ when the [E] wind blows
_ as [Gm] we sit _ deep in [Gb] the garden _ _ [Bb] sip on tea [Gm] _ _ as [D] I watch you _ looking [G] at _ me.
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [Fm] I've been trying to find [B] _ _
reality _ _ _ _ [Am] a grip on [E] the illusion _ [Gm] that I lost you _ _ _ _ when you left _ _ [D]
me.
