[Verse 1]
F G C I take a walk on the Seine F G C Cross Pont Neuf on my way to St. Germain F G C Love-hearts on padlocks on wire in the mist F C Where young lovers kiss E7 Am And swear to be true E7 Am E7 Echoes of ten thousand sighs of love Am And yet I F G C Feel only the absence of you
[Verse 2]
F G C Out of a window on the thirtieth floor F G C Central Park shines with the coming of dawn F G C Through eyes rendered weary by jetlag and wine F C I turn round to find E7 Am There’s a girl in my room E7 Am For a moment we kiss E7 Am But her vodka-soaked lips F G C Taste only of the absence of you
[Chorus]
C Am I don’t know Em* What all of this means F If you are not here with me C Am And I am lost Em When we are apart
There’s a hole in my heart
F That light passes through F And the pattern it creates
Is the shape of
C
The absence of you[Verse 3]
F G C Spring has been found hanging round Soho Square F G C So I take my coffee and newspaper there F G C To bask in the not-warm-enough April sun F C With the workers who come E7 Am To eat Pret with no shoes E7 Am But the grass to the side E7 Am Of the patch where I’m lying F G C Is flat with the absence of you
[Chorus 2]
C Am I don’t know Em What all this is for F If you are not near to me C Am And I can’t sleep Em Sleep is no fun when the unruly sun F Will reveal the truth F A space in my bed as cold as the dead
Exactly the size and the shape of
C
The absence of you[Ending]
Am Em And all of this beauty
Runs over and through me
F
And pools round my shoesAnd the puddle it forms
Conforms to the shape of
C
The absence of you
