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 wasn’t there
