INTRO: E*

Palm mute E* switching between the 5th and 7th frets on the A string.
Easiest to use your pinky--listen for the rhythm.


VERSE 1:

D*
While you wait for the others

   A*
to make it all worthwhile

D*
All your useless pretensions

    A*
are weighing on my time

D*
You could beg for forgiveness

   A*
As long as you like

D*
Or just wait out the evening

B*
And always ask me why

           B*
Yes you’ll only leave me dry

        E
So I’ll ask you kindly to make your way


CHORUS:

A*

             A*
And what was there

            A*
The perfect glare

            A*
We all fall through


VERSE 2:

D*
While you wait on the answers

     A*
That I’ll pretend to find

D*
Keeping up with emotions

      A*
Still occupies our time

D*
You could hope for substance

   A*
As long as you like

D*
Or just wait out the evening

    B*
And always ask me why


           B*
Yes you’ll always ask me why

     E
I’ll ask you kindly to make your way


CHORUS:


A*

             A*
And what was left

            A*
The perfect glare

            A*
We all fall through


BRIDGE:


And all we want...


e|-14--14--14--14--14--14--14-12-14-12- (x2)

e|-10--10--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--


OUTRO:

A*    (x3)

             A*
And what was there

             A*
And what was there

                A*
And what wasn’t there



(..etc.)

(end on E)
