G Am
well I bled blue blood from my back last night, I was alone
G Am
aubergine sheets on my bed now, oh no
G Am
and your blue eyes lie just like an atlas in those sockets
G Am
yeah your blue eyes cry mapwater when you're sorry
G Am
oh so sorry, oh no
G Am
Em C
you with the nape that holds my gaze
Em C
you with the tongue that speaks my name
Em C
you with the arms that keep me at length
Em C
you with the heart that won't show its face
G Am
and jesus sucks the mud out of your soul
G Am
but the flame in my eye, it's gone blue and cold
G Am
and you risked your wrist to save my life
G Am
and I should have kissed you that night, but it ain't right
G Am G Am
Em
and absence makes my heart grow hollow
C
absence makes my heart grow hollow
Em
make me into an egg without yoke
C
you make me into an egg without yoke
Em
absence makes my heart grow hollow
C
absence makes my heart grow hollow
Em
make me into an egg without yoke
C
you make me into an egg without yoke
Em
I was unborn when I was younger
C
I was unborn when I was younger
Em
but I was rebuilt when you spoke
C
I awoke when you spoke
Am*
you said, "there's always a reason for leaving,
Em*
there's always a reason to stay.
Am*
I know exactly why I'm leaving:
Em*
I just can't stay" and I say,
Am* Em*
"I'll give you my whole summer when you unfurl your fingers.
Am*
I would be lying if I said you had nothing
Em* Am* Em*
to do with me, you're to blame for my being this way, way.
Am* Em*
Em C
you with the nape that holds my gaze
Em C
you with the tongue that speaks my name
Em C
you with the arms that keep me at length
Em C
you with the heart that won't show its face
