C                   Dm
I heard that you're moving away
G             F             G     Dm    Em    Dm
Fumbled in my pockets for a final word
      F                   C
And I tell you 'Don't be late'

C              F           C
Smile when you tell me you wont
C            F            Dm
Shuffle your feet and you don't
G               F               G    Dm    Em    Dm
Want to read between the air of silence
F                 C
Then the rain begins

Dm
I don't want to love you
           F
I want to learn you
                          C
But I'd love to know you well


C               Dm
So long to your family home
  G                F             G       Dm    Em    Dm
I wonder if you'll ever get that feeling back?
     F       C
Your family home

C          F              C
Covered my eyes with your hands
C                 F           Dm
Walked me through all of your plans
  G                F
I told you I could see it all
    G             Dm    Em    Dm
But all I saw was you
            F             C
Through the space in your fingers

Dm
I don't want to love you
           F
I want to learn you
                          C
But I'd love to know you well

C               Dm
You say all the people you know
G              F            G      Dm    Em    Dm
All are slowly dying from a silent cause
           F           C
From their quiet desperation

C          F           C
I walk you home in the rain
C           F           Dm
Pass by the yellow line train
G                  F                  G         Dm    Em    Dm
Thought that I was different when you looked at me
         F           C                   G
But this quiet desperation is killing me too
           C
Killing me too

Dm
I don't want to love you
           F
I want to learn you
                          C
But I'd love to know you well
