Missy Higgins – A Complicated Truth (Guitar)

               B                                 F#sus4        F#
The trees are swaying out the window and you're not with me today

            B/D#                         E
You're with him and that's okay, that's okay

               B                                      F#sus4            F#
I hope you're running 'round in circles, hope you're laughing till you drop

               B/D#                                E
I hope you're feeling safe, I hope you're feeling loved

              B                                       F#sus4       F#
The days are longer when you're not here, I've been staring at the sky

          B/D#                           E
Wondering what I used to do with all my time

         B                              F#sus4        F#
You're a universe of starlight bursting out of every seam

         B/D#                            E
And the house is so damn quiet when you leave

            C#m                               F#sus4           F#
You've been asking lots of questions lately, trying to figure out

         C#m                               F#sus4 F#
Why the endings in your books don't match ours

         C#m                            F#sus4             F#
And it breaks my heart tryna find some words you'll understand

             C#m                             F#sus4 F#
'Cause baby, nothing about this was in the plan

B                                          E
All that I can tell you is a complicated truth

     C#m                    F#                       B
I'll always love your daddy, 'cause together we made you

          B                             F#sus4            F#
From the moment I first met him, I knew everything would change

       B/D#                         E
Your daddy woke my heart up in the kitchen that day

    B                           F#sus4         F#
He wore no metal armour, rode a vesper, not a horse

         B/D#                       E
But I'd never felt so seen and so adored

    C#m                                 F#
We loved each other's faulty parts, we kissed each other's wounds

         C#m                        F#sus4 F#
Till one day we were opening them too

       C#m                                    F#
And I know your books don't end like that, I know it's hard to take

    C#m                      F#
A promise is a promise you say

B                                          E
All that I can tell you is a complicated truth

     C#m                    F#sus4 F#                       B
I'll always love your daddy, but now our love is something new

         C#m                              F#
Now I'm walking past your empty bedroom, turning off the lights

         C#m                            F#
And I'm hoping that he's tucked you in tight

           C#m                            F#
Because I haven't had the answers lately, haven't known what to say

         C#                    F#
When you ask me why love runs away

     B                                 Bmaj7        E
And all that I can give you are these complicated truths

 C#m              F#                          G#  B/D# E
Sometimes happiness is the hardest thing to choose

         C#m                    F#                       B
But I'll always love your daddy, 'cause together we made you
