First Aid Kit – To A Poet (Guitar)

D Am G D
Oooh...

Am             Em
And you said, "Don't give me nothing

Am                  Em
you don't want to lose"

Am                                  Em
I said, "Darling, I'll give you everything I got

      Am            Em
if I want them to choose"

Am               Em                
Then I got on a plane and flew

Am             Em
far away from you

Am                     Em 
Though unwillingly I left

            Am             Em
and it was so, so hard to do

F                    C                      Em
The streets here at home had rapidly filled up

                     Am
with the whitest of snow

F                         C     
And they don't make no excuse for themselves

     Em                  Am
and there's no need, I know

       F                C
Now I miss you more than I can take

    G               F
and I will surely break

     F             C
And every morning that I wake

G              F
oh, there is this ache

         Am               Em
There's nothing more to it,

   F    G   C
I just get through it

             Am            Em
Oh, there's nothing more to it

   F    G   C
I just get through it

Am                 Em
It always takes me by surprise

     Am                            Em
how dark it gets this time of the year

Am                  Em
And how apparent it all becomes

                 Am              Em
that you're not close, not even near

Am                   Em
No matter how many times I tell myself

Am              Em
I have to be sincere

Am                Em
I have a hard time standing up

  Am              Em
and facing those fears

F                 C 
But Frank put it best when he said

     Em                 Am
"You can't plan on the heart"

F                    C
Those words keep me on my feet

        Em                      Am
when I think I might just fall apart

       F                C
Now I miss you more than I can take

    G               F
and I will surely break

     F             C
And every morning that I wake

G              F
oh, there is this ache

         Am               Em
There's nothing more to it,

   F    G   C
I just get through it

             Am            Em
Oh, there's nothing more to it

   F    G   C
I just get through it

             Am             Em
Oh, there's nothing more to it

   F    G   C
I just get through it

D         C               G
And so I ask where are you now

                   D
just when I needed you

D              C
I won't ask again

            G                         D
Because I know there's nothing we can do

    C       G                   D
Not now, darling, you know it's true
