  Abm7        E         B         Gb   
What I want from you is empty your head.
        Abm7        E      B          Gb   
But they say be true, don't stain your bed.
    Abm7  E             B          Gb   
And we do what we need to be free.
        Dbm                E           Gb
And it leans on me like a rootless tree.


   Abm7     E         B       Gb   
What I want from us you is empty your mind.
      Abm7        E         B         Gb   
But we fake, we fuss, and fracture the times.
Abm7     E            B         Gb   
We go blind when we needed to see.
           Dbm                E   Gb
And this leans on me, like a rootless...


 Abm7        E            B
xxxx you, xxxx you, xxxx you
     Gb   
and all we've been through.
       Abm7        E           B
I said leave it, leave it, leave it,
     Gb   
it's nothing to you.
           Abm7       E      B        Gb   
And if you hate me, hate me, hate me, hate me so good
              Abm7
that you just let me out
E             B
let me out, let me out?
    Gb   
Its hell when you're around.
Abm7          E             B
Let me out, let me out, let me out.
Gb   
Hell when you're around.
Abm7          E             B         Gb   
Let me out, let me out, let me out.


       Abm7         E    
What I want from this
      B            Gb   
is to learn to let go.
    Abm7      E    
No, not of you
   B               Gb   
of all that's been told.
Abm7  E        B           Gb   
Killers re-invent and believe
          Dbm                 E   Gb
and this leans on me, like a rootless...


 Abm7       E           B
xxxx you, xxxx you, xxxx you
    Gb   
and all we've been through.
       Abm7        E           B
I said leave it, leave it, leave it,
    Gb   
it's nothing to you.
           Abm7       E        B        Gb   
And if you hate me, hate me, hate me, hate me so good
              Abm7
that you just let me out
E             B
let me out, let me out?
    Gb   
Its hell when you're around.
Abm7          E             B
Let me out, let me out, let me out.
    Gb   
Its hell when you're around.


 Abm7         E             B
Let me out, let me out, let me out
Gb   
hell when you're around.
 Abm7         E             B
Let me out, let me out, let me out
Gb   
hell when you're around.


 Abm7         E             B           Gb   
Let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out.
Let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out. etc...

Biography

Damien Rice (born December 7, 1973) is an Irish singer-songwriter. He was born in Dublin, Ireland, to George and Maureen Rice and was raised in Celbridge, County Kildare, Ireland. In March 1999 Damien moved to Tuscany, then travelled around Europe, busking the streets. He arrived back in Dublin a year later, with a clear head and full of ideas. Damien started playing and recording music with his first band, Juniper. After a few years he decided creatively it was not for him so he left the band (Newly named Bell X1) to start a solo career.
