Capo: I
[Intro]
G D Em
[Verse 1]
G D Em
They are here, down, next to mine
G D Em
Put your hand inside my hand, we'll be alright
G D Em
There are no words left to say, we're too weak to fight
G D Em
There's a shadow creeping in, blacking out all the light
[Chorus]
G D
There's an elephant
Em Bm G
We're so used to him
G D G
Storing books on his back
G D G
Don't notice how fast
G D G
He's filling up our whole house
G D G
We don't talk, we don't even shout anymore
[Verse 2]
G D Em
If we lay real still, we'll be okay
G D Em
Let the dust settle 'round our bodies, as we decay
G D Em
There is nothing left for us to throw, resentment's gone away
G D Em
We're both waiting for some sort of truth, that neither of us will say
[Chorus]
G D
There's an elephant
Em C G
We're so used to him
G D G
Storing books on his back
G D G
Don't notice how fast
G D G
He's filling up our whole house
G D G
We don't talk, we don't even shout anymore
