CAPO: 4


verse 1
D              A           C           Bm            A
Now begins the task I have dreaded the coming of for so long
  D            A     C          Bm            A
I wait for the sun to remind my body it needs resting


       Em       G        D       A
I must learn to live without you now
     Em              G         D            A
As I cannot learn to give only part  -  somehow

verse 2
D              A            C       Bm
Camping on the edge of your city, I wait
G          D                A
Hoping someday you'll see beyond yourself
D              A        C             Bm
Shadows on the ceiling, hard, but not real
G                  D           A
Like the bars that cage me within myself

       Em       G        D       A
I must learn to live without you now
     Em              G         D            A
As I cannot learn to give only part  -  somehow


Instrumental: D  A  C  Bm  G  D  A   (2x)


       Em       G        D       A
I must learn to live without you now
     Em              G         D            A
As I cannot learn to give only part  -  somehow


verse 2
D            A              C             Bm
All of these cages must and shall be set aside
G             D                A
They can only keep us from the knowing
D          A          C              Bm
Actors and stages now bow before the truth
G              D               A
And the love between remains a-growing


       Em       G        D       A
I must learn to live without you now
     Em              G         D            A
As I cannot learn to give only part  -  somehow


Outro: D  A  C  Bm  G  D  A
