Away When You Were Here

Capo 1

Verse 1:
 
A                   Esus4        E 
Dad I know you were sad when you died  

          A              D              A     E 
And I was young it's the way I kept you in my mind  

    A                         Esus4  E 
The mess that was left and my mother cried  

                   A          D               A      E 
And when she stood up she was nobody's mother I'd be fine  


      D          A 
But I missed you then  

      D        A 
And I miss you now  

            F#m           A       E 
Liked you'd missed things I might say  

             D       A 
You're still lost in clouds  

        D     A 
But I'm older now  

      F#m         A       E 
I can see through lifting haze  

     Bm                               A    E    D 
That you were away even when you were here  



Verse 2:
 
A                       Esus4         E 
Sometimes a phrase or a manner that's you  

              A                D 
Comes through me, it goes in a flash  

                     A          E 
It's a frame, it's a blink like life  

       A                      Esus4       E 
Oh and how much now should we pay for the past  

                A        D                    A     E 
Cause you could age with grace if I freed you in my mind  


      D         A 
But I loved you then  

      D        A 
And I love you now  

        F#m      A          E 
All the things I wished I'd asked  

     D           A 
When I'm lost in clouds  

    D      A 
I remember how  

      F#m        A     E 
I was robbed and I was blessed  

    Bm                               Bm 
And you were away even when you were here  



Bridge: 
                     F#m      E       Bm 
Cause it's not about you, not you, anymore  

                    F#m        E 
It's about what I'd do with it all  

    C#7                   D      A     D    A   F#m   A   E 
And I, I'll never let you let me down  

Break: D A D A F#m A E 

Outro:
 
     A                    Esus4      E 
This morning I wake to be older than you were  

           A         D                     A       E 
fresh like snow, for miles, every footstep will be mine  

           D         A                  D       A 
You'd have lost that weight, you'd have gone so straight  

           F#m     A       E 
You'd have made my wedding day  

           D        A               D        A 
You'd have saved my youth from that point of truth  

           F#m        A         E 
You'd have kept those wolves at bay  

    Bm                                D             A 
But you were away, you were away even when you were here
