Absence

Verse 1:
           E       Eb7             B        Dbm7
If I leave tomorrow, would you be alright?
                          E      Eb7
Would you be filled with sorrow?
                   B       Dbm7
Would you put up a fight?
          E         Eb7                  B       Dbm7
How can I protect you when I don't feel alright?

Chorus:
 E                      Eb7
If I just vanished, do you think you'd manage?
   B                          Dbm7
Or would you disappear right beside me?
 E                            Eb7
Do you think you're ready when I go unsteady?
   B                          Dbm7
Lover, please prepare for my absence

Verse 2:
               E     Eb7                     B       Dbm7
If I left the country, would you search and search?
                     E   Eb7                B       Dbm7
Or would you give up easy and find me in the dirt?
               E     Eb7
Would I live forever?
                    B       Dbm7
Or blend right into earth?

Chorus:
 E                      Eb7
If I just vanished, do you think you'd manage?
   B                          Dbm7
Or would you disappear right beside me?
 E                            Eb7
Do you think you're ready when I go unsteady?
   B                          Dbm7
Lover, please prepare for my absence

Bridge:
  E
G#sence makes the heart grow stronger
 Eb7                           B                        Dbm7
Pray my baby will not squander everything to gain by my leaving
 E
And if I can return the favor
 Eb7                       B                         Dbm7
Pray my baby always savors every moment we were both present

Chorus:
       E                      Eb7
'Cause if I just vanished, do you think you'd manage?
   B                          Dbm7
Or would you disappear right beside me?
 E                            Eb7
Do you think you're ready when I go unsteady?
   B                          Dbm7
Lover, please prepare for my absence
