Standard Tuning
Capo 4th Fret
[Intro]
C Dm C Dm G
C F Am C
[Verse]
C Dm
Got that catatonic feeling
C Dm
And I'm drooling on the TV
G
Every now and then I think
C
How long have you been gone
F Am
And where's those groceries?
[Interlude]
C F C
[Verse]
C Dm
I'll be discovered by explorers
C Dm
My body fossilized in torpor
G
And all the while
My thoughts repeat like
C Am
Chinese water torture
[Interlude]
C Em F
[Chorus]
C Dm Am Em F
When you are gone I tend to ramble on for days
C Dm Am Em F
It doesn't mean, it just helps me to keep my place
[Interlude]
C Dm C Dm
[Verse]
C Dm
Time itself is flattened
C Dm
You come back it never happened
G
Except that now
C
Old man replaced your lover
F Am
All featureless and fattened
[Interlude]
C F
[Verse]
C Dm
In disbelief at your misfortune you say
C Dm
Hell, I was only gone the weekend
G
And then I burst to flames
C
You see I've lived entire lives
F Am Em F
In a single a moment
[Chorus]
C Dm Am Em F
You see, when you are gone the lights go off and on all night
C Dm
The neighbors talk while I stand listless in my socks
Am Em F
Until I disappear from sight
[Interlude]
C Dm F Am Em F C
[Outro]
C Dm
Got that cataclysmic feeling
C Dm
Babies crawling on the ceiling
G
And now I think
C F C
Maybe we should start a family
