Rilo Kiley – Absence Of God (Guitar)

D              Dmaj7              G        A
The absence of God will bring you comfort, baby

D              Dmaj7
And plannings for the poor

        G                F#m
So let's pretend that we're rich

Bm                        Asus4            A
And I'm not my body or how I choose to destroy it

D                Dmaj7           G       A
Folk singers sing songs for the working, baby

D              Dmaj7         G                F#m
We're just recreation for all those doctors and lawers

Bm
There's no relief for the bleeding heart

Asus4                   A        D       D7
'Cause they'll be losing bodies tonight

    Em            A
And Rob says you love, love, love

F#m     Bm
Then you die

Em                  F#m
I've watched him while sleeping

   G         A   A7             D
And seen him crying with closed eyes

               D              Dmaj7
And you're not happy but you're funny

          G            A
And I'm tripping over my joy

           D              Dmaj7     G   A
And I just keep on getting up again

           D              Dmaj7
We could be daytime drunks if we wanted

                G                     A
We'd never get anything done that way, baby

         D        Dmaj7         G        F#m
And we'd still be ruled by our dueling perspectives

        Bm
And I'm not my perspective

       Asus4         A         D     D7
Or the lies I'll tell you every time

   Em             A               F#m    Bm
And Morgan says maybe love won't let you down

Em             A               F#m    Bm
All of your failures are training grounds

   Em           F#m
And just as your back's turned

          G                  A
You'll be surprised, she says

       A7            D     D7
As your solitude subsides

               F#m             Bm
And Mike, I'll teach you how to swim

                G              Asus4  A
If you turn the bad in me into good again

     Em            A           F#m         Bm
And I say there's trouble when everything is fine

     Em            A           F#m             Bm
The need to destroy things creeps up on me every time

     Em            F#m        G
And just as love's silhouette appears

    A                A7              D  D7
I close my eyes and disappear tonight

     F#m              Bm
And something's gotta change

           F#m              Bm
'Cause our love's the slowest moving train
