Absence Of You

[Intro]
 
Am7 Bm7 Gmaj7
        Am7      Bm7 Gmaj7
(it's a sad song)
 
 
[Verse 1]
         Am7         Bm7       Gmaj7
Maybe I'm learning to love you less
                  Am7         Bm7              Gmaj7
you said your goodbyes but I haven't said mine yet
  Am7              Bm7      E9              Cmaj7
I lay down in the fires and watched it turn blue
       Am7               Abmaj7      Gmaj7
as the cinders fill with memories of you
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
          Cmaj7
But I'm okay now
        Bm7
Finally figured you out
   Cmaj7         C#m7b5
My rosy eyes are tired so I'll
Dsus                D
close them for now
 
 
[Chorus]
              Cmaj7
And I'm on my way oh
   Bm7    Bbm7
to paradise
          Am7                              Gmaj7
there's a world away that's waiting for me
             Cmaj7
waves always break
             Bm7      Bbm7
when you're on my mind
        Am7                        Gmaj7
now the absence of you set me free
 
 
[Verse 2]
             Am7              Bm7        Gmaj7
You leave me notes around the house and gone
                       Am7           Bm7            Gmaj7
Said things like, "I'm out, I'll be late don't wait up"
  Am7               Bm7            E9    Ddim   Cmaj7
I let you keep your distance but I hated keepin mine
       Am7           Abmaj7             Gmaj7
If you loved me you would learn to compromise
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
          Cmaj7
But I'm okay now
        Bm7         B7
Finally figured you out
   Cmaj7         C#m7b5
My rosy eyes are tired so I'll
Dsus
close them for now
               D
close them for now
 
 
[Chorus]
             Cmaj7
And be on my way oh
Bm7        Bbm7
to paradise
    Am7                               Gmaj7
to a world away that's waiting for me
             Cmaj7
waves always break
            Bm7        Bbm7
when you're on my mind
        Am7            Abmaj7     Gmaj7
now the absence of you sets me free
 
 
[Outro]
              Cmaj7
And I'm on my way
Bm7           Bbm7
oh to paradise
      Am7                          Gmaj7
to a world away that's waiting for me
              Cmaj7
waves always break
            Bm7        Bbm7
when you're on my mind
        Am7
now the absence of you
Abmaj7     Gmaj7
sets me free
        Am7             Abmaj7     Gmaj7
now the absence of you sets me free
        Am7
now the absence of you
Abmaj7
sets
Gmaj7
me free
