(C)
While you were gone
(F)
the phone still rang
(C)
the bus still came
(F)
and everything
remained the same
(C)
while you were gone
while you were gone
i washed my face
i rearranged my books and things
just for a change
while you were gone
(F) (Am)
you tried to hide yourself away
you tried to hide yourself away
you tried to hide yourself away
(E) (Am)
but no one came
(C)
while you were gone
sleeping at his place
kissing his face
blood in his veins
pumping for a change
while you were gone
(F) (Am)
you tried to hide yourself away
you tried to hide yourself away
you tried to hide yourself away
but no one came
(Am)
under blankets and under beds
(E)
all the boys and girls with their troubled heads
(Am) (E)
and the fairy tales that your mama preaches but ohhhh
under blankets and under beds
all the boys and girls with their troubled heads
and the fairy tales that your mama preaches but ohhhh
(E) (Am)
But Ooooooooooooh
But Ooooooooooooh
But Ooooooooooooh
But Ooooooooooooh
