The Hollow Chords by Tall Heights (http://www.tallheights.com/)
Transcribed by Nick Ver Voort
Intro: Arpeggiate open A chord
A D
I wanted to find a hollow
E D A
a place to fill the empty in my mind
A D
My silence had me caving inwards
E D A
and I longed for us to speak between the lines
Bm D
And when I'd find that hollow
A E
I'd leave every trace of it behind
A D
I'd have known you'd follow
E D A
but this hollow was for me alone to find
C# D
Or so I thought
C# D
Or so I thought, oh what a fool
[Chorus]
F#m
Oh what I was, oh what you are
D
these are the strangest times
E A
Has my young love faded out of sight?
F#m D
Oh where we were and where we are, they're not so far apart
E A Bm A
We'll set off for that hollow at first light, yeah we will, yeah we will
A D
At last we reached the hollow
E D A
we sink down in the moss upon the ground
A D
My compass had been helter skelter,
E D A
like a fly in a fish bowl buzzing round
Bm D
Your heart against my chest a-humming
A E
it sings your song of sorrow to me now
A D
But my songbird shall not wallow
E D A
drawn back to this secret we have found
C# D
And I hear the water rushing down below
C# D
it doesn't matter now, oooooh
[Repeat Chorus]
[Cello solo over A and E]
[Repeat Chorus x2]
[Last line slower]
F#m E
Oh and we were, oh and we are
