[Eb] [Ab]
[Db] [Abm] [Gb]
[F] [E]
[Bb] [Eb]
[Dm] I am [F] your chariot horse, [D] tomorrow I'm [G] your albatross.
[Bb] Suspended [Gm] by [C] the finest thread no one could ever [F]
see.
And [D] when there's breathing in your ear, you put your faith [G] in all you hear.
[Bb] But just how deep [C] those feelings go, I have no way to [F]
know.
[C] I'll [Am] never
[F] know.
[Eb]
If I [Gm] was [Bb] blind, [Fm]
would [F] you still be [C] my eyes?
[Fm] Or hide [G] [Ab] everything [Bb] you [Gm]
see, [Ab] pretending [Eb] to care [F] about me?
[Fm]
When [C] all the time [Fm] you're just wishing [Ab] I'd [Bb] fade [Eb] away.
You [Ab] can't bring [Bb] yourself to [Bb] [D]
say.
I'll [C] look for reasons why [Am] you won't admit [G] you realize.
[Bb] The promise [Gm] you've [C] been living by [Am] is just an empty [F] shell.
[D] You'll come to [F] bear it [Am] like a cross, [D] then [F] start to tear [G] it like frayed gauze.
[Bb] I'm so [Gm]
ashamed [C] to be afraid, [C] but I can't help [F] myself.
[C] Can't help [Am] [F] myself.
[Eb] And if I [F] was blind, [Fm] would [F] you still be [C] my eyes?
[Fm] Or hide [Ab] everything you [Gm] see, [Ab] pretending [Eb] to care about me?
[Fm] When all [C] the time [Fm] you're just [Ab] wishing I'd fade [Gm] away.
You [Ab] can't bring [Bb] yourself to [Eb] care [Ab] about me.
[Fm] Oh, [F] please don't let [C] me down.
[Fm] Why [Ab]
[Gm] [Ab] don't you care?
[Eb] Why don't you care about [Ab] me?
[F] Because I know all the time you're just wishing [Bb] I'd fade.
[Gm] [G] You [Ab]
can't bring [Bb] yourself to [D] [Am] say.
[F]
[Bb]
[Ab] [Abm]
