G             Dm       G     Dm
Darling, give me your absence tonight

G            Dm                 G              Dm
Take the shade from the canvas and leave me the white

Gm                D7             Gm     D7
Let me sink in the silence that echoes inside

Gm               Gm/F            C7
And don't bother leaving the light on
[Pre-Chorus]
Fm                Bb           Fm       Bb
'Cause I suddenly feel like a different person

Fm                   Bb   Fm            Bb7
From the roots of my soul come a gentle coercion

Fm           Ab           Bb     Gb
And I ran my hand O'er a strange inversion

A vacancy that just did not belong

Honey help me out of this mess

I'm a stranger to myself

Bbm6       C7           Bbm6      C7
But don't reach for me I'm too far away

Bbm6            C7
I don't wanna talk 'Cause there's

Bbm6          C7
Nothing left to say
[Verse 2]
G              Dm       G            Dm
So my Darling, give me your absence tonight

Take all of your sympathy and leave it outside

Gm                        D7               Gm        D7
'Cause there's no kind of loving that can Make this alright

I'm trying to find a place I belong
[Pre-Chorus]

From the roots of my soul come a gentle coercion

And I ran my hand O'er a strange inversion

Fm7           Ab/Eb             Bb Bb7
As the darkness turned into the dawn
[Chorus]

The child is gone
