My Chasm

G A G A
      G                      A
I am a container of stories about 
you
                G             
And I bring you up repeatedly, 
     A        Bm
uninvited to
               G                   
Do the people around me want to 
           A                 Bm
keep hearing about my dead wife?
            G                     
Or does the room go silent when I 
A
mention you?
         Bm
Shining alive
                  G
I live with your absence
Continues after the ad
                  A                
And it's been two months since you 
     Bm
died
                    G              
I'll speak to your absence and 
                A                
carry our stories around my whole 
   Bm
life
                G                  
But when I'm in public, I don't 
              A                  Bm
know what's that look in their eyes
                G                  
I now wield the power to transform 
   A
a grocery
                   F#m           
Store aisle into a canyon of pity 
      G
and confusion
    F#m              G
And mutual aching to leave
F#m    G
Mmm
F#m    G
Mmm
    G                    A     
The loss in my life is a chasm I 
                 F#m
take into town
                         G
And I don't wanna close it
        A
Look at me
         Bm
Death is real
