Absence Of You

Gmaj9 A Gmaj9 A G I don’t miss songs I’ve never sung A D Or books I’ve never read G I don’t mourn all I’ve left undone A D Or the paths I’ll never tread Bm F#m G But I believe though I cannot prove it true G A D I would feel the absence of you G A Bm If we’d never met or said hello G A Bm Would a part of me have always known? G A Bm Cadd9 I suspect your name is written in the marrow of my bones G After other lips had kissed me Gmaj9 Would I notice something missing? G I don’t miss songs I’ve never sung A D Or books I’ve never read G I don’t mourn all I’ve left undone A D Or the paths I’ll never tread Bm F#m G But I believe though I cannot prove it true G A D I would feel the absence of you G A Bm In another life, where there was no you and me G A Bm And we had settled down with others happily G A Bm Cadd9 What if one day on the street our eyes meet accidentally? G Would it hit me like a freight train? Gmaj9 A sudden ache that I could not explain G I don’t miss songs I’ve never sung A D Or books I’ve never read G I don’t mourn all I’ve left undone A D Or the paths I’ll never tread Bm F#m G But I believe though I cannot prove it true G A D I would feel the absence of you G A Bm G A Bm G A Bm Cadd9 G For I knew from that first minute Gmag9 My life was meant to have you in it G I don’t miss songs I’ve never sung A D Or books I’ve never read G I don’t mourn all I’ve left undone A D Or the paths I’ll never tread Bm F#m G But I believe though I cannot prove it true G A Bm I would feel the absence of you G A D I would feel the absence of you | p Pull-off
