Darling, give me your absence tonight

G                                              Dm
Take the shade from the canvas and leave me the white

Gm                D             Gm     D
Let me sink in the silence that echoes inside

And don't bother leaving the light on

Fm                Bb           Fm       Bb
'Cause I suddenly feel like a different person

Fm                   Bb   Fm            Bb
From the roots of my soul come a gentle coercion

Fm           Ab            F#
And I ran my hand O'er a strange inversion

Fm           Am             Bb    Bbm  Bb
A vacancy that just did not belong

The child is gone

Ebm    Ab         Bb  Bbm
I'm a stranger to myself

I don't wanna talk 'Cause there's

Bb          C
Nothing left to say

G              Dm       G            Dm
So my Darling, give me your absence tonight


G                Dm           G        Dm
Take all of your sympathy and leave it outside

Gm                        D               Gm        D
'Cause there's no kind of loving that can Make this alright

As the darkness turns into the dawn

Fm    Eb   Bb
