Chord/Tab song: Away My Silent Lover

[F] [C] [Dm] [F]
I just [F]wanted to be so much [C]better than me
But I [Dm]lost the talisman, so I [F]could not be free

And the [F]ladies they watch as I [C]sneer through my scarves
And I [Dm]smirk mischievously and i[F]magine they had the hearts

Then I [F]got up and left and I [C]turned a corner right
Though I [Dm]could not keep my rent, there were [F]shadows in my sights

As I [F]shuffle through the dark I was a[C] heading to the park
But I [Dm]did not become afraid when I [F]heard he dogs starts to bark

It [F]might have been cold or warm, but I [C]did not seem to care
I was [Dm]waving my arms in the [F]aeromatic air

Then I [F]fell to the ground, but I [C]heard a million sounds
There were [Dm]whistles there were bells. There were [F]screams and exploding shells

I found [F]teeth marks in my thigh and I [C]started to cry
No longer [Dm]wanted to try, but I [F]did not ask why

Then your [F]hollow, hollow face was em[C]erging from the willow trees
Though I [Dm]could not see your eyes I cont[F]inued to gaze with ease

And a[F]way my silent lover, you're just [C]changing with the grass
Oh so [Dm]slowly you float, oh so so g[F]racefully you pass

And I [F]do not see you smile. You don't [C]talk, you don't laugh
You're the [Dm]Shepard of my sheep, the [F]keeper of my golden calf

And your [F]love is truly true, myster[C]ious, handsome too
In the [Dm]wind and in the rain, never [F]had to be pursued

When I'm [F]cold and in the gutter, I simply [C]shut my eyes so tight
Sitting [Dm]warm it makes me shudder and I [F]soon feel alright

And [F]away my silent lover, one day [C]we'll shall be together
There will [Dm]remain no contemplation, no more [F]schemes or endeavors

When my [F]heart disintegrates and my [C]voice is no more
We'll [Dm]eternally be mates from the [F]horizon to the shore

But for [F]now it's all nostalgia, you're a [C]cinematic spector
Cast your [Dm]image from the blinds by the [F]glow of the old projector

And [F]away my silent lover
[C]And away my silent lover[Dm]
