G D/F#
You've left me with such a silent world,
Am7 Am7 G/B
Where evenings are calm, but I'm restless
Cadd9 Gaug/D# G
And my breath has become as thin as the wind.
G D/F#
Not even the mighty sky could fill the space you left behind
Am7 Am7 G/B
Not even when it rains.
Cadd9
No, nothing takes your place
Gaug/D# Em C#m7b5 Cadd9
Your emptiness too great to fill.
Am7 G/B Cadd9
I have been holding my breath,
Am7 G/B Cadd9
For too many nights in a row,
Am7 G/B Cadd9
And somewhere on coastlines unknown to me
Gaug/D# Em
You paint your dreams,
C#m7b5 Cadd9
With reds and blues and greens.
Am7 G/B Cadd9 Gaug/D#
Yea you're painting daffodils by the sea,
G
Without me.
G D/F#
Today in a breeze I sensed your perfume
Am7 Am7 G/B
But you were nowhere near.
Cadd9 Gaug/D# G
And in reverie, I felt you holding me.
G D/F#
And even in my dreams I shake from the fear
Am7 Am7 G/B
That you've been swept away.
Cadd9 Gaug/D# Em C#m7b5 Cadd9
By the rhythm of the waves I whisper in your ears.
Am7 G/B Cadd9
I have been holding my breath,
Am7 G/B Cadd9
For too many nights in a row,
Am7 G/B Cadd9
And somewhere on coastlines unknown to me
Gaug/D# Em
You paint your dreams,
C#m7b5 Cadd9
With reds and blues and greens.
Am7 G/B Cadd9 Gaug/D#
Yea you're painting daffodils by the sea,
G
Without me.
Am7 Am7 G/B
I would give away
Cmaj7
My sweetest memories,
Am7 D7 Fsus2 C/E
If I could just be with you again.
D7 Fsus2 C/E
Be with you again.
Am7 G/B Cadd9
I have been holding my breath,
Am7 G/B Cadd9
For too many nights in a row,
Am7 G/B Cadd9
And somewhere on coastlines unknown to me
Gaug/D# Em
You paint your dreams,
C#m7b5 Cadd9
With reds and blues and greens.
Am7 G/B Cadd9 Gaug/D#
Yea you're painting daffodils growing by the sea,
G
Without me.
G D/F#
Last night I dreamt you were with me,
Am7
Finally I could breathe.
