This is played on the ukulele but guitar sound good too!
Sweet Solace By Robert Borden
G C
I come home after a long day
Am D
Only to realize you’ve taken all your things away
G C
And it hurts because I know what I’ve done
Am D
And it excruciating because it’s so, so wrong
Chorus:
G C
I find sweet, sweet solace in my solitude
Am D
In my silent room, eating solid food
I find sweet, sweet solace in the solitude
In my silent room, without solid proof
Em
Of you ever having been there
You took everything, even the sheets
Every memory all the bitters and the sweets
Now I’m empty, like a pool I sit
By myself, in my room
To the silence I commit
I find sweet, sweet solace in the solitude
In my silent room, eating solid food
And there’s sweet, sweet solace in my solitude
In my silent room, it feels so much like a tomb
And I try, I try to let it go
But you keep me hanging out(Cm)
A D
And there’s sweet, sweet solace in my solitude
Bm (D on the second fret)
In my silent room, eating solid food
There’s sweet, sweet solace in my solitude
In my empty tomb, I’ll be silent soon
Sweet, sweet solace
Sweet silence
Sweet solace in my solitude
Sweet, sweet solace in my solitude
In my empty tomb, I’ll be silent soon
