A While chords by Gabrielle Aplin

Intro: (x2)
C E Dm F

Verse 1:
          C                E
When it rains, yeah it rains

        Dm                        F
We can be so unforgiving, it leaves us unforgiven

            C                E
We're the same, we never change

          Dm                               F                           Bb
It's the reason we're together, just waiting for the weather to pass

Chorus:
             F           C        Bb
I've been rolling my days away

                     F             C           Bb
Can't turn out the light that keeps me awake

             G                      F
I've been trying to sleep for a while

              Dm               Am
There'll be nothing left to talk about

      Bb                 F
And no one left to hear.

       (F)
In a while,
             Dm               Am
We'll pour water on these ashes and

      Bb                 F
The walls will disappear

         C    A
For a while

             Dm               C             G     Bb    F
We've been caught in the cold light of day


Verse 2:
            C                 E
Lost our love, you put it down

      Dm                            F
Somewhere for safekeeping, so safe you don't remember

            C                  E
But it's okay, we'll make some more

       Dm                                     F                                   Bb
It's you that i'll be needing, not these books that we've been reading too long


Chorus:
             F           C        Bb
I've been rolling my days away

                     F             C           Bb
Can't turn out the light that keeps me awake

             G                      F
I've been trying to sleep for a while

              Dm               Am
There'll be nothing left to talk about

      Bb                 F
And no one left to hear.

       (F)
In a while,
             Dm               Am
We'll pour water on these ashes and

      Bb                 F
The walls will disappear

         C    A
For a while

             Dm               C             G     Bb     F
We've been caught in the cold light of day

             F *        C *    Bb *
I've been rolling my days away
                    F *          C *       Bb *
can't turn out the light that keeps me awake
             G                        Gm
I've been trying to sleep, I've been trying to sleep

          F
For a while

              Dm               Am
There'll be nothing left to talk about

      Bb                 F
And no one left to hear.

The walls will disappear

         C    A
For a while

             Dm               C             G     Bb
We've been caught in the cold light of day
