People you were going to
From: Ignacio Vassallo
I don.t know how to write the first chord, I think is something like: Aadd9no1, but that sounds too stupid. The chord is: (B #c E) /
B
(B #c E) / B
Your father has just left your mother,
A
gone off to live with his latest lover;
C G A
she sits there, just staring.
(B #c E) / B
So you get back to your own flat
A
because the atmosphere in there
C G A
is so bad you can't bear it.
E B
And the people you were going to America with
D A
just left on the dawn plane
C G
without you,
G A
without you.
C G
without you.
G A
without you.
(B #c E) / B
The people in the downstairs flat
A
are no longer there now because they left
C G A
the gas tap on, they're all dead.
(B #c E) / B
So you've no-one left to talk to,
A
you just lie there in melancholy,
C G A
half-naked on your unmade bed.
E B
And the people you were going to Africa with
D A
just left on the Southern Star
C G
without you,
G A
without you.
C G
without you.
G A
without you.
Bm A
Yes, the haze that's been forming round your window-panes
Bm A
is now protracted and poisoned
Bm A
and you cannot feel a portion of the world outside.
(B #c E) / B
Can you imagine the way you'd feel
A
if all these things had happened to you
C G A
and the doctor says you're dying?
(B #c E) / B
That is the way that I feel now
A
on finding that your love belongs
C G A
to someone else and not I.
E
My chance of heaven has just blown away
B D
upon a passing cloud and there is nothing that I can
A
Do
A G
without you,
G A
without you.
A G
without you.
