CAPO: 4


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


    E minorEm    G+G    D MajorD    A augmentedA
I must learn to live without you now
   E minorEm       G+G     D MajorD      A augmentedA
As I cannot learn to give only part - somehow

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

    E minorEm    G+G    D MajorD    A augmentedA
I must learn to live without you now
   E minorEm       G+G     D MajorD      A augmentedA
As I cannot learn to give only part - somehow


Instrumental: D MajorD A augmentedA C majorC B minorBm G+G D MajorD A augmentedA  (2x)


    E minorEm    G+G    D MajorD    A augmentedA
I must learn to live without you now
   E minorEm       G+G     D MajorD      A augmentedA
As I cannot learn to give only part - somehow


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


    E minorEm    G+G    D MajorD    A augmentedA
I must learn to live without you now
   E minorEm       G+G     D MajorD      A augmentedA
As I cannot learn to give only part - somehow
