VERSE 1:

E*                     D*
While you wait for the others 
 
   F#m              A           D          A  A*
to make it all worthwhile 

E*               D*
All your useless pretensions 

    F#m                 A           D          A  A*
are weighing on my time 
                    
E*                   D*
You could beg for forgiveness 

   F#m              A           D          A  A*
As long as you like 

E*                   D*
Or just wait out the evening 

E*         Emaj7* B*
And always ask me why 

           E*   Emaj7*   B*
Yes you’ll only leave me dry 

        E  
So I’ll ask you kindly to make your way 


CHORUS:

D       A A*       F#m F#m*       A A*

             D       A A*       F#m F#m*       A A*
And what was there 

            D       A A*       F#m F#m*       A A*
The perfect glare 

            D       A A*       F#m F#m*       A A*
We all fall through 


VERSE 2:

E*                    D*
While you wait on the answers 

     F#m                  A           D          A  A*
That I’ll pretend to find 

E*               D*
Keeping up with emotions 

      F#m                  A           D          A  A*
Still occupies our time 

E*                 D*
You could hope for substance 

   F#m                  A           D          A  A*
As long as you like 

E*                   D*
Or just wait out the evening 

    E*     Emaj7* B*
And always ask me why 


           E*     Emaj7* B*
Yes you’ll always ask me why 

     E
I’ll ask you kindly to make your way 


CHORUS:


D       A A*       F#m F#m*       A A*

             D       A A*       F#m F#m*       A A*
And what was left 

            D       A A*       F#m F#m*       A A*
The perfect glare 

            D       A A*       F#m F#m*       A A*
We all fall through

And what was there 

             D       A A*       F#m F#m*       A A*
And what was there 

                D       A A*       F#m F#m*       A A*
And what wasn’t there
