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

    D                  Dmaj7            G                F#m
and planning's for the poor so let's pretend that we're rich

        Bm x 2               Asus4        A
and I'm not my body or what I choose to do with 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 those lawyers

           Bm x 2
there's no relief for their heavy hearts

                Asus4     A
cause they'll be losing bodies tonight

D  Dmaj9  G  A
D  Dmaj7  G  A

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

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

    Em   F#m  G    A      Bm            A/C#   A7
and just as   your back's turned you'll be surprised he says

       A
as your solitude subsides

D Dmaj7 G A

           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 x 2
and I'm not my story or perspective

        Asus4          A
or the lies I'll tell you every time

D D7

    Em            A                  F#m       Bm
And Rob says you love, love, love and then you die

     Em      F#m G     A   Bm   A/C# A7         A
I've watched him while sleeping and seen him cry with closed eyes

D Dmaj7 G A
D Dmaj7 G A

    D                           Dmaj7            G             A
And you're not happy but you're funny and I'm tripping over my joy

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

D Dmaj7 G A
D Dmaj7 G F#m
Bm Bm Asus4 A

F#m               Bm
 Teach you how to swim

            F#m            Bm
you turn the bad in me into good again

Em F#m G A Bm A/C# A7 A
D D7

    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     A     Bm   A/C#   A7
and just as love's silhouette appears

                          A           D       D7
I close my eyes and disappear with you tonight

   F#m                  Bm
and something's got to change

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

Em F#m G A Bm A/C# A7 A
