The Proposal - Jack Savoretti
Intro: G
G
Living in your absence
Bm
I see memories when I cry
C
I hear songs in the key of silence
G
I'm not ready yet to die
G
Every breath I laugh out loud
Bm
Like a poem with no rhyme
C
It means nothing to me now
G
It'll mean everything in time
CHORUS
Em C G D
Oh this crazy superstition
Em C G D
You'll find love, just you wait your turn
Em C G D
I ain't got no time for intuition
Am C G C
Let's build this bridge together, watch it burn
G
Looking back at my sweet life
Bm
In an empty dirty glass
C
I can see a man and wife
G
Trading tales about the past
G
Such a dangerous game to play
Bm
The only way to be
C
Ask me nicely and I might say
G
Will you run away with me
CHORUS
