[Intro]
G Em Am D/F# C G/B Am D/F#
[Verse 1]
G Em
The flowers you planted, they bloom every Spring
Am D/F#
Outside the window the song birds sing
C G/B
The mornings are peaceful the evenings are too
Am D/F#
It's quiet here now in the absence of you
G Em Am D/F#
[Verse 2]
G Em
I never saw it when you'd take a drink
Am D/F#
You tip-toed to it when I must've blinked
C G/B
Your eyes glazing over, that was my cue
Am D/F#
To start bracing myself for the absence of you
G Em Am D/F#
[Verse 3]
G Em
The demons would frequent and they'd trash the place
Am D/F#
Put you back later, your memory erased
C G/B
You'd wake up the next day, your sky would be blue
Am D/F#
I'd be still seeing stars from the absence of you
G Em Am D/F#
[Verse 4]
G Em
Sometimes you were them, sometimes they were you
Am D/F#
I could never be certain of just who was who
C G/B
I'd beg God to take me but He never would do
Am D/F#
Night after night in the absence of you
[Chorus]
C G D/F#
Day after day my vow I'd renew
Am C D/F#
For better or worse, or just what I had to do
C G D/F#
Every so often a ghost will yell “Boo!”
Am C D/F#
And remind me again of the absence of you
G Em Am D/F# C G/B Am D/F#
