CAPO 4

[INTRO]

G Am D G Am D G

[VERSE]

G                       Am

I heard that you're moving away

D                G           Am        D   Am

Fumbled in my pockets for a final word

C                          G

And I tell you 'Don't be late'

G

Smile when you tell me you won’t

G             Am

Shuffle your feet and you don't

D               G                 Am    D   Am

Want to read between the air of silence

C                G

Then the rain begins

[CHORUS]

D

I don't want to love you

                 C

I want to learn you

                          G

But I'd love to know you well

[Riff]

Am D G

[VERSE]

G                 Am

So long to your family home

     D              G              Am          D   Am

I wonder if you'll ever get that feeling back?

       C     G

Your family home

G

Covered my eyes with your hands

G                  Am

Walked me through all of your plans

D                   G

I told you I could see it all

    Am                D   Am

But all I saw was you

              C              G

Through the space in your fingers 

[CHORUS]

D

I don't want to love you

                 C

I want to learn you

                          G

But I'd love to know you well

[RIFF]

Am D G x3

[VERSE]

G                 Am

You say all the people you know

D                G           Am          D   Am

All are slowly dying from a silent cause

             C         G

From their quiet desperations

G

I walk you home in the rain

G             Am

Pass by the yellow line train

D                      G

Thought that I was different 

           Am         D   Am

When you looked at me

           G

But this quiet desperation is 

   C        D

Killing me too

   C        G

Killing me too

[CHORUS]

D

And I don't want to love you

                 C

I want to learn you

                          G

But I'd love to know you well
