The Hollow

Intro: Arpeggiate open A chord

A                   D
I wanted to find a hollow
  E                 D           A
a place to fill the empty in my mind
A                         D
My silence had me caving inwards
      E                D                 A
and I longed for us to speak between the lines

Bm                     D
And when I'd find that hollow
 A                          E
I'd leave every trace of it behind
A                     D
I'd have known you'd follow
E                       D           A
but this hollow was for me alone to find
C#                 D
Or so I thought
C#                 D
Or so I thought, oh what a fool

Continues after the ad
[Chorus]
F#m
Oh what I was, oh what you are
D
these are the strangest times
E                             A
Has my young love faded out of sight?
F#m                                               D
Oh where we were and where we are, they're not so far apart
E                                      A      Bm            A
We'll set off for that hollow at first light, yeah we will, yeah we will

A                       D
At last we reached the hollow
   E                D             A
we sink down in the moss upon the ground
   A                        D
My compass had been helter skelter,
E               D                 A
like a fly in a fish bowl buzzing round

     Bm                        D
Your heart against my chest a-humming
   A                                E
it sings your song of sorrow to me now
A                         D
But my songbird shall not wallow
E                  D              A
drawn back to this secret we have found
C#                           D
And I hear the water rushing down below
C#                        D
it doesn't matter now, oooooh

[Repeat Chorus]

[Cello solo over A and E]

[Repeat Chorus x2]
[Last line slower]

F#m                         E
Oh and we were, oh and we are
