[D] _ Are you sleeping? _ _ _ _
_ Still [A] dreaming? _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] Still drifting _ off [G] alone?
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ I'm [D] not leaving
With _ _ _ [A] this feeling
So _
_ _ [D] [Em] you'd better _ best be told
_ [G] _ _ _ [A] Then [Bm] how [D] in the world
Did you [G] come
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] To be [E] such [D] a lazy [G] love?
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ It's [D] so simple _ And _ _ _ [A] fitting
_ The _ _ _ [Em] _ path that you are [G] on
_ _ _ _ [A] _
_ [D] We're not talking
_ There's _ _ [A] no secret
_ There's _ _ [Em] just a note that you have [G] gone
_ _ _ _ [A] And [Bm] all [A] that [D] you've _ ever [G] owned
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] Is packed [Bm] [D] in the hall to go
[G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [Bm] And how am I [G] supposed to live [A] without you? _ _
_ _ [C#] [Bm] A wrong word said [G] in anger and you were [A] gone
_ I'm _ _ _ [D] not listening
For _ _ _ _ [A] _ signals _ _
_ _ [Em] It's all dust now on the shelf
_ [G] You're _ _ [A] _
_ _ [D] still working _ Still _ _ _ [A] counting _ _ _
_ _ [Em] Still buried _ in yourself
[G] _ _ _ [A] And [Bm] how [A] in [D] the world
[G] Did you come
To _ _ _ _ [A] _
[Bm] have such an [D] absent [G] love?
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [Bm] And how am [G] I supposed to live [A] without you? _ _
_ _ [Bm] A wrong word [G] said in anger and you were [A] gone _ _
And _ _ [Bm] how am I [G]
supposed to live [A] _ without _ _
_ _ [Em] _ Anyone? _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [G] _

_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ And _ [A] _ [D] how [A] in [D] the world
Did [G] you come _ _
_ _ _ [A] To [Bm] be [A] such [D] a lazy [G] love? _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] And where [Bm] [A] did
