Misc Originals – Andrew White - Leave Early (Guitar)

Eb
J’s album dropped this week,

Fm
I know you’d love it, that you’d feel the beat,

Eb/G                                Ab9
know the words in your sleep as you tap the syncopation with your feet,

        Cm                   Bb
But you decided to leave early

Eb
I just pray that you’re at peace,

Fm
you know I love you though your heart don’t beat,

Eb/G                               Abadd9
I think about you in my sleep as I dream about our runs and I twitch my feet,

        Cm7                    Bb
But you decided to leave early

      Ab
But I guess I thought that you could cope,

      Bb
And I guess I thought that you would know,

                Cm7        Bb6           Ab7
That I’m at the end of the phone if you need me,

             Cm7       Bb6        Ab    Abm        Eb
To share the weight if it got too heavy for you to breathe

Eb
As I sat in your place,

Fm7
Down by the river as my shoulders shake,

      Eb/G
And I Considered the courage that might take,

         Abm
Felt the depth of your pain and it made my heart break

           Cm                     Bb
‘Cause you decided to leave early

Eb
Ever since, feeling displaced,

Fm
Heard the news and felt the ceiling shake,

Eb/G
In the Uber home it all seemed fake,

           Abm
Though you dropped like a pebble, left a tidal wake.

      Ab6                               Cm
And I guess I thought that you were fine,

        Bb                                   Abm
Was not that a constant til the end of time?

                    Cm        Bb               Ab
'Cause I was at the end of the phone should you need me,

             Cm7       Bb6        Ab    Abm        Eb
To share the weight if it got too heavy for you to breathe

        Ab
I can’t fill in the hole that you left,

           Bb
But I will try to grow around it,

        Cm
Move my heart to my sleeve from my chest,

        Bb
Keep my head up staying grounded,

        Ab
I can’t fill in the hole that you left,

           Bb
But I will try to grow around it,

        Cm
Move my heart to my sleeve from my chest,

         Bb
Show the love you rarely found in,

     Ab                    Gm7             Fm9              Ab6
This world that I’ll paint purple with the brushes that you gave me,

Ab            Gm7           Fm9               Ab6
Life is but a circle in the end you just left early.

                   Cm7
But maybe you were right on time,

                     Bb6           Bb
I just hope you were right on time.

                    Ab         Bb               Cm
'Cause I was at the end of the phone should you need me,

            Ab          Cm7        Bb6                       Eb
To bear the weight when it got too heavy for you to breathe.
