D G Bm A


D               G   D                G
Everything is quiet since youre not around
D                  G
And I live in the numbness 
D                  G  Bm A
In the background

I do the things we did before
I walk haight street to the store
And they say wheres that crazy girl
You dont get drunk on red wine and fight no more
I dont see you anymore since the hospital

     A
The plans I make still have you in them
       Bm       A               D
Cause you come swimming into view
                        Bm
And Im hanging on your words
        A             D
Like I always used to do
                       Bm
The words they use so lightly
   A              D
I only feel for you
                     Bm           G
I only know because I carry you around
                    D  G 
In the background
                     D  G
Im in the background


D                                  G
Words they come and memories all repeat
D                                          G
I lift your head while they change the hospital sheets
  D        
And I would never lie to you no
G
I would never lie to you no
D                               G
I felt you long after we were through, we were through

     A
The plans I make still have you in them
       Bm       A               D
Cause you come swimming into view
                        Bm
And Im hanging on your words
        A             D
Like I always used to do
                       Bm
The words they use so lightly
   A              D
I only feel for you
                     Bm           G
I only know because I carry you around

     Bm         G           D
When you come swimming into view
                        Bm
And Im hanging on your words
        A             D
Like I always used to do
                      Bm
The words they use so lightly

I only feel for you
