Elephant chords by Laura Brino

Capo: I

Intro:

G D Em

Verse 1:

          G               D          Em
They are here, down, next to mine
          G              D              Em
Put your hand inside my hand, we'll be alright
          G              D              Em
There are no words left to say, we're too weak to fight
          G              D              Em
There's a shadow creeping in, blacking out all the light

Chorus:

            G      D
There's an elephant
         Em           Bm    G
We're so used to him
         G            D     G
Storing books on his back
         G        D       G
Don't notice how fast
        G                D     G
He's filling up our whole house
        G                    D            G
We don't talk, we don't even shout anymore


Verse 2:


       G         D          Em
If we lay real still, we'll be okay
        G                      D           Em
Let the dust settle 'round our bodies, as we decay
           G                   D                    Em
There is nothing left for us to throw, resentment's gone away

             G                        D                    Em
We're both waiting for some sort of truth, that neither of us will say


Chorus:

            G      D
There's an elephant
         Em           C     G
We're so used to him
         G            D     G
Storing books on his back
         G        D       G
Don't notice how fast
        G                D     G
He's filling up our whole house
        G                    D            G
