G Em Bm Bm  

G        Em                     Bm  
Oh your absence resounds like a siren, 
G        Em                          Bm  
But my presence brings no more than silence, 
G        Em                     Bm  
For the times I behaved like a switchblade, 
G        Em                            Bm  
For the blame when I should have just forgave. 
               
              G 
Where do you go? 
            Bm               Em 
When those darker wild eyes show, 
      C                   G 
If I lead you straight up to, 
     Bm                     Em 
The loneliest landscape you knew, 
               C 
Boy would you care, 
               G  
If you lost me there?

G     Em                      Bm  
I was blessed with your good intention, 
G        Em                 Bm  
But your kindness gets no reflection, 
G        Em                     Bm  
All the words you hear without listening, 
G      Em                     Bm  
Oh you waste them all on the missing, 

              G 
Where do you go? 
            Bm               Em 
When those darker wild eyes show, 
      C                   G 
If I lead you straight up to, 
     Bm                     Em 
The loneliest landscape you knew, 
               C 
Boy would you care, 
               G  
If you lost me there?

     F#m                    Bm 
The loneliest landscape you knew,
