Tom Rosenthal – Albert Camus (Guitar)

C#m            D             F#m
  Did you ever read Albert Camus?

C#m             D                    A                         E
  The bit about how you got to turn away from the world to understand it

                  C#m
Did you feel this too?

          D                F#m    A     E
I was in a mindless kind of queue

                   D               F#m
But then I went and put myself right out

D             F#m
  Haven't you heard right?

D                A
  It's a truly absurd life

D                    F#m
  Tomorrow you could be a big hole

        E                       D
And the next day you could be a king

                   A
Can't return to my old ways

D                      F#m
  When the nothingness held up the days

D                 A
  And now come to think of it

       E                 D   A  D  F#m
I only got out of bed for you

C#m               D              F#m
  I used to think nothing of the end

C#m              D              A
  Repeating each day was my forte

                  E                    C#m
Spinning out time like a spider with a web

                D             F#m    A   E
Devouring every second, I was fed

                    D                     F#m
But then I went and sailed right out, got lost

                                  D
Found things just got a bit lighter

            F#m
Haven't you heard, love?

D                 A
  It's a truly absurd love

D                    F#m
  Tomorrow you could be a big kiss

        E                       D
And the next day you could be a stone

                   A
Can't return to my old lives

D                    F#m
  Quite oblivious to all of the signs

D                 A
  And now come to think of it

       E                 D    A   D
I only got out of bed for you

Dm       A
 Invited to the feast

Dm            A
 Only had one grape

Dm               A
 Always arrived ahead of time

   E                 A
But turned out I was late

Dm                 A
 I can see now the world does not care

Dm                 A
 That is okay with me

Dm          A                                 D
 So I never needed a boat to sail out to the sea

            F#m
Haven't you heard right?

D                A
  It's a truly absurd life

D                    F#m
  Tomorrow you could be a big hole

        E                       D
And the next day you could be a king

                   A
Can't return to my old ways

D                      F#m
  When the nothingness held up the days

D                 A
  And now come to think of it

       E                 D
I only got out of bed for you

            F#m
Haven't you heard, love?

D                A
  It's a truly absurd love

D                    F#m
  Tomorrow you could be a big kiss

        E                       D
And the next day you could be a stone

                   A
Can't return to my old lives

D                    F#m
  Quite oblivious to all of the signs

D                 A
  And now come to think of it

       E                 D
I only got out of bed for you
