Key: C

Difficulty: Novice

Intro:
G


Chorus:
  G            E
I know you are there
       C             Am
In the light, in the air
  G              Em
I know you won't leave
    C            Am
The dirt, or the trees

Verse 1:
     G
Last night I closed my eyes
            Em
And you did come to me
    C
You stood above my bed
        Am
Tucking in the sheets
     G
Your hands were strong and warm
                 Em
And smelled like cigarettes
    C
The kiss upon my forehead
        A
I would not forget


Chorus:
  G            E
I know you are there
        C              Am
In your books, in your chair
  G              Em
I know you won't leave
    C               A
The windows, or the leaves


Verse 2:
     G
When I was young you hit me
       Em
Said I had no gift
C
Tounge too small and teeth too pretty
    A
I'd never sing or lick
    G
And so I tried my hardest
        Em
To live up to you
   C
If I just loved you enough
      Am
You'd come to love me too


Bridge:
  G                             Em
I wonder if you hurt me in your fever dream
C
Did you wake in some strange room
        A
Thinking you'd fled the scene
G                            Em
Empty bottle dangling like a heavy stone
C
Having just seen your own father
Am
In your boyhood home


Chorus:
G              Em
I know you are there
      C            Am
In my bones, in my hair
  G              Em
I know you won't leave
    C           A
The soles of my feet

G Em C Am D (x2)


Bridge:
   G                                 E
If I could sing, I'd sing an endless song for you
   C                                Am
My lily throat would tear I'd do so long for you
G                               Em
Magpies would take the sounds I make into their beaks
    C               Am
And find you in the darkness

They're my words it speaks
